Condition:

Disc:   Vinyl is nice VG++ with 100% of original gloss, appears to have been played a very small number of times and handled with care.  There are a few slight paper scuffs, not audible, no serious marks or distactions.  Fidelity is excellent.  Labels are clean.  You will be hard pressed to find a nicer sounding copy of this rare soul gem.

Jacket:    VG+ with no major problems.  Front artwork is clean and bright, with just a hint of ring wear.  There are some noticeable shelf wear along the top and bottom seams but are not split except for approximately two inches at bottom right corner opening.  Reverse has darkened slightly due to age and is beginning to show a bit of minor surface wear.  No writing or stickers.  Overall a very presentable jacket to accompany the great sounding disc.
