Shipping: Ships securely from West Virginia, packaged like a professional archivist in a heavy-duty cardboard LP flash mailer with corrugated inserts to ensure zero movement during transit.
Condition Details & Matrix Inscriptions:
Vinyl Condition: Near Mint (NM). The record has only been played exactly twice since it was purchased new. It features minor surface blemishes from faint paper scuffs due to the record sleeve, but a careful play-test confirms that these light scuffs are completely inaudible. The playback is clean, dynamic, and crisp.
Side 1 Matrix: Features a stamped "0" and the word "STERLING", with the matrix number inscribed as ILPS–1–9585 followed by a signature JW 1 (where the 'J' appears to have originally been stamped as a '4').
Side 2 Matrix: Features a stamped "0" and the word "STERLING", with the matrix number inscribed as ILPS–2–9585–JWL #1.
Jacket & Shrink Wrap: Near Mint (NM). The album jacket is still preserved in its original retail factory shrink wrap. It has the original vintage retail store price tag still attached to the top right of the shrink wrap on the front cover. The jacket and seams are perfectly crisp, flat, and sharp, with no promotional stamps or cut-out holes.
Inner Sleeve: The original plain inner paper sleeve is included and in great shape, showing only a minor 2-inch split at the very bottom center seam caused naturally by the heavy weight of the vinyl pushing downward over the decades.
Pricing for this pristine "time capsule" copy is firmly based on verified collector marketplace historical data from Discogs.
