CONDITION – PLEASE READ CAREFULLY:
The gradations of condition I use are as follows: MINT, Near-Mint, Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair, Poor.
The condition of jacket is GOOD. There is visible shelfwear and discoloration to the front panel, as well as bumping/wear at corners, and additional discoloration to the rear panel. However, there are no seamsplits, owners’ markings, or other defects, and the jacket remains solid, bright, and attractive – overall, this is still very much a decent copy.
The condition of the LP itself is EXCELLENT. There are a few very tiny 'sounds', none of which, in my opinion, rise to the level of a tic. There is a tiny pressing flaw in the last track on Side 2 that causes a low bumping sound for 4 revoltuions. Otherwise, the playback is quite superb. Nonetheless, if you must an absolutely flawless copy then do not buy this LP. Overall, this rates as an excellent collector’s copy.
