Conservative Condition Report:

Vinyl Grading: VG+ Beautiful, high-gloss visual luster with pristine surfaces. Virtually zero marks, scuffs, or scratches. The labels are bright, vibrant, and perfectly legible with no spindle wear

Jacket Grading: VG++ / Excellent (EX)Structurally phenomenal and 100% free of seam splits or spine tears. The front cover art retains great gloss, and the rear liner notes are clean and fully readable. Vintage clear tape was neatly applied to the bottom and right edges decades ago purely as a preventative measure to protect the borders (there are no splits hidden underneath). Shows only minimal, standard shelf wear on the corners

Inner Sleeve: Includes the rare, period-correct original inner sleeve. Shows natural vintage yellowing from age and has mild creasing on two corners, but remains fully intact

Shipping:  Ships securely in a heavy-duty cardboard record mailer. The vinyl will be removed from the jacket during transit to prevent any accidental seam splits
