CONDITION
DISC: This US 1st press LP is visually in EXCELLENT+ condition on Side 1, with some hairlines and a few very light surface scratches. Side 2 has a few more light surface scratches and is visually in EXCELLENT condition. The Side 1 Elektra label shows no spindle trails; the Side 2 label shows one spindle trail.

COVER: The paste-on gatefold cover with textured paper and very firm cardboard is in EXCELLENT condition. This particular cover is nearly impossible to keep in good condition because it is dark and the rough paper shows every blemish. This cover has light wear at the edges and a very light LP impression on the back side. The top seam of the back gatefold also has a small piece of clear adhesive tape, but it is unobtrusive and is not repairing any splits. Overall, this cover still looks quite good, and the spine is firm and fully readable.

INNER SLEEVE: The original inner sleeve with textured paper is in EXCELLENT condition. Amazingly enough, this inner sleeve has no seam splits; just light storage wear.

GRADING INFORMATION
- I grade conservatively. MINT is a sealed LP; NEAR MINT is an open LP/cover
with virtually no signs of use/wear; EXCELLENT is a well-looked-after LP/cover
with light signs of use/wear; VERY GOOD+ is an LP/cover with average signs of
use/wear but is not trashed. - I use unforgiving sunlight and incandescent light to visually grade each LP.
- I don’t make unverifiable claims as to how many plays a non-sealed LP has had.
Please note: eBay's shipping cost is only an estimate and may not reflect actual shipping cost.
If you do not live in the United States or Canada, I will ship your item only through eBay's Global Shipping Program.
