Grading: Vinyl condition-  I have play graded this album and in my opinion the sound is between Good and Vg++ but please read all... The album has great sonic presence and it's audio integrity has not been diminished by the many years of play it has sustained, there is some surface and pressing noise but it is not all the way through nor in any way does it hinder the dynamics of the recording.   I thought the album thoroughly wonderful and since this album is scarce, I think one could honestly call this a VG copy with reservations.  Cover:  The front is beautiful and glossy.  The back is showing signs of age, the marks are not from damage but from the original hide glue which affixed the back paper- which is buff and delicate.
