Condition: 

DISC:  Vinyl is NEAR MINT with 100% of original gloss, as clean as can be found.  Appears to have been played one or two times at most, and handled with care.  Possibly unplayed.  Labels are clean, except small mark on Side 1 label.  Fidelity is superb.  A gorgeous disc you will never need to upgrade.

JACKET:   Jacket is nice VG+ to VG++.  Front artwork is clean, with minor ring wear beginning to appear.  Light wear on seams and spine.  Small bumps at corner tips.  Reverse is clean.  No writing, stickers, or other issues.  Overall a very fine jacket to accompany the beautiful disc.  

NOTE:  This came from a large collection stored for many years by an individual associated with the radio station at a historically black university back in the mid 1970s-early 80s, and is guaranteed to be original and not a modern reissue or repro.  I will be listing more albums from this collection in the coming weeks, so please check back for additional rare titles in top condition.
