You wanted the best, you got it. This is a very nice Mint copy of this record. No seam splits, dings, dissapointments! What appears to be a split on the left side of the front cover is actually the title on the spine. There is a couple small tears in the shrink. The top right of the front cover has a place where the old price sticker was and someone took it off and caused a small hole only to the shrink.  The ringwear you are seeing is only on the shrink and not the album cover. I truly believe that for 39 years old this is the best copy you will ever find. If you are buying this as a CHRISTmas gift please pony up for Priority mail. The Post Office is running extremely slow right now. 

I buy somewhere around 20,000 record albums a year, but haven't bought a new camera since the 90's so please excuse the pictures. I spend most of my weekends at record shows so I rarely have a chance to get on Ebay. I am taking the winter off to bring you the best vinyl in the best condition I've found. I have been buying and selling for around 20 years and have a very good reputation in the mid-west for clean stock. I tell you this to let you know that I am passionate about the hobby and music is all I concentrate on. I grade to Goldmine / Osborne standards and try to play grade atleast one track on everything I sell unless sealed. Record collecting is my way of life! Please feel free to email with questions. I sell no trash, everything I list is in collector quality condition as I myself am one of the biggest collectors in Indiana. All LP Records will be professionally cleaned on my VPI HW 17F and in brand new protective outersleeves!

CONDITION:

Vinyl = Mint (10/10)! No dissapointments, etc...

Cover = M (10/10)    

Label = M (10/10)

Grading System:

Mint = only reserved for Sealed/Perfect Lps 10/10

Near Mint = the record may have been played once or twice on good equipment. Near Mint vinyl should sound New when dust is cleaned off and the records played with a properly aligned cartridge and good needle. A Near Mint cover should be one that either looks new or still has the shrink wrap on it. Near Mint is usually reserved for record collectors that don't mind spending premium in order to get the best quality copy of a recording. 9 out of 10

Excellent = 8 out of 10 The need for exellent has replaced what we used to call VG++. A record should have maybe one blemish such as fingernail or scuff that does not affect play. It should be veiwed as Near Mint to most collectors, but for the super picky collector such as myself it is veiwed as 8/10.

Very Good + = VG+ is a grade that I use for most lps that have been played a handful of times with care. It may have one or two scratches (should not be feelable with finger) that DO NOT affect play or some sleeve scuffs from being pulled and played. When put on your record platter a VG+ record should sound great. There should not be background noise (when properly cleaned) or pops, skips, or any other distracment from the music. You should be able to listen to a VG+ record time and time again and enjoy it. 7 out of 10

Very Good = Record has been played and played and played. Record will have background noise. Maybe a pop or skip on certain tracks. Covers will have seam splits. A pretty "loved" piece of vinyl. 4,5,6 out of 10. Should play without hurting your needle. Unless its very rare I do not list VG records. My moto is "If you can't play and enjoy it, it ain't no good" I grade according to Goldmine/Osborne standards. I strive to keep my feedback 100% positive!!!
