CONDITION

Labels: EXCELLENT

Only flaw is that a tiny fragment near the spindle hole on side 1 is lost, probably during manufacture.

Shows only faint traces of having been played.

Disc: EXCELLENT

Playing surfaces display only a few non-feelable hairlines, with only normal surface noise mostly evident in the song inlets and the more quiet moments.

Cover: VERY GOOD +

Sleeve is very glossy looking. However the bottom spine has a beginning split about 1". Spine is fully intact and all corners and flipbacks show only normal wear.

Inner-sleeve: VERY GOOD +
