Description

Record itself is Excellent + to Mint -. There is a slight smudge on first track side B that barely affects sound quality. There are NO SCRATCHES whatsoever. Runner on side A reads: MRI - 769 - A ( triangle symbol) then Mastered by Frankford/Wayne (cent symbol) A - 2. Runner on B side reads MRI - 769 - B (triangle sign) A - 1. NOT A TYPO. A side ends in A - 2, B side ends A - 1. There is a tiny amount of marking in the spindle area. This is a first tranche of the album's first print run.

Cover is Very Good to Bery Good +. It is still shiny and has a couple of minor creases on left side. Has a minor closed tear (half inch) on bottom right front and some normal minor bumping on corners. There are a couple of areas on the front side where there 3 instances where someone drew small circles on a piece of paper laid upon the cover itself. These are only visible when cover is slanted in the light. Small circular album wear on top and bottom. Back side has some of the same imperfections. The edge has some minor scuffing which can be viewed in the 7th picture.

Sleeve is in good condition, has some creases but no rips. Both sides have opened allowing the album to slide out if held just so.
