Original jacket

Original printed inner sleeve with lyrics, credits, and photos

Condition — please read carefully and review all photos

Jacket: VG — Structurally sound with no seam splits and no writing. Shows honest shelf wear: light surface scuffing across front and back, scattered fine scratches in the gloss on the back cover, edge wear along all four sides, and bumped corners at lower left and lower right. Colors are strong and all text and the barcode are intact.

Inner sleeve: VG+ — Original lyric and credits inner, complete and fully legible with light edge wear.

Vinyl: VG- — Please note the scratches. Both sides carry several visible scratches, most concentrated in the inner portion of the playing surface near the label, along with general scuffing and hairlines across the surface. These are shown in detail in the close-up photos. Expect audible surface noise and the possibility of ticks in the affected passages. No cracks, no warp. Labels are clean with no writing, stickers, or spindle burn.
