    Vinyl is in good shape, didn't include original inner sleeve. Came with plan white one.

      My copy has the spine printing slightly off so that it appears on the cover. Don't know if this is a common issue with this pressing, or if I just have one that was printed badly.

        This U.S. version is missing 5 songs on most other versions, but adds "Keep Yourself Alive" and "Under Pressure".
