CONDITION – PLEASE READ VERY CAREFULLY:
The gradations of condition I use are as follows: MINT, Near-Mint, Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair, Poor.
The condition of the jacket is EXCELLENT. There is a ½" split to the lower-right corner, as well as shelfwear and aging, but that is all. There are no other splits, bends, owners' markings, or other defects and the whole remains perfectly solid and highly attractive – overall, an excellent collector's copy.
The condition of the LP is VERY GOOD. Though there is light surface noise throughout, in general the playback remains quite fine. If you must have perfect surfaces, then please do not buy this LP. Overall, this rates as a very good collector's copy, certainly as fine as one is likely to find today. Too many sellers rate everything as NM because they know that's what sells. Don't believe it.
