Textured gatefold sleeve has shelfwear at corners & along edges,ringmarking & scuffing,small laminate creases near edges & a small area of paper damage on the upper part of sleeve back opening edge. The spine has scuffs & some small laminate creases that very slightly affect some lettering but is intact & readable. The inner photo gatefold has light scuffing & ringmarking & shelfwear along the right side opening edge. Overall is in VG condition for age & fragility with no edge splits or writing.

Labels have some light wear & spindle trails around spindle holes,otherwise are clean.(see photos)

Vinyl has very good lustre-has lots of light paperscuffs & hairlines but still plays through well with surface noise,clicks & pops in quieter parts mainly,but it is the Aztecs so there aren't many quiet parts & it still sounds great when played with very bright sound!
I grade all vinyl (except still sealed) both by sight and play them through on both A & B sides.
All photos of vinyl are taken with a flash so any imperfections are highlighted.
