The record is EX+,  a very nice, completely unmarked copy. There are some spindle marks on the label, but not very noticeable.

The record plays as good as it looks, and is quiet between tracks, and generally plays very well.

The cover is VG+, clean non-laminate cover, with minor wear on the top and bottom edges. There is a beige-coloured mark on the left-hand inner cover (see picture) and very slight ring wear imprint on the top part of the back cover, otherwise it is in very good shape for a cover that is almost 40 years old.

The inner sleeve is also VG+, and has the LP lyrics reproduced on it, and is also in good shape apart from some ageing of the white paper sleeve, and a small split on the bottom edge.

The record will be packed in a stiff package specifically designed for sending vinyl throught the post, with added protection on the corners.
