Condition: 

DISC:  EXCELLENT with 100% of original gloss, appears to have been played a very small number of times, perhaps once or twice and handled with care.  There are a couple very minor hairline scuffs, not audible, no serious marks.  No audible ticks or distractions except for four soft ticks at approximately 3:45 on Side 1, Track 2 (Brill’s Blues). 

Absolutely no underlying surface noise.  Fidelity is clean and awesome.  Labels are clean with no spindle trail marks.  You will be hard pressed to find a nicer disc.

JACKET:  Jacket is nice VG+ with nice bright artwork, but also with a couple noteworthy flaws.  Laminated front panel is clean, except for light moisture staining around the right corners.  (Moisture did not affect the disc in any way). 

Nice seams and spine, except bottom seam has some red markings and the bottom right corner is just starting to split at the opening, less than one inch.  Bottom right corner is slightly curled, which continues to a lesser extent up along the right opening edge.  Reverse has no writing or stickers, but there are some light moisture stains along the bottom and along the left edge.  No writing, stickers, or other issues.  Not perfect, but will be quite acceptable to most collectors, given the rarity in combination with the beautiful disc.
