THIS COPY is a 1st Hauppauge pressing on the Polydor label (see Notes, below).
The vinyl, per a test listen, plays perfectly. With a few small rubbings, but no marks, the vinyl is in Very Good Plus [VG+] or better condition. (It's really quite nice.)
The original cover shows ony light handling, faint ring wear on the back, and a wrinkle in the upper left hand corner of the back. Overall, the cover remains sturdy and in Very Good Plus [VG] condition.
The original inner sleeve, which features credits and a band photo on one side and lyrics on the reverse. It is in Very Good Plus [VG+] condition.
