Condition Report
Vinyl Condition: VG+ (Very Good Plus)Both discs are in beautiful, well-preserved condition. The vinyl retains its original deep, brilliant factory gloss. Under bright light, it shows only a few extremely minor, superficial paper scuffs or faint hairlines that do not affect playback. The center labels are remarkably clean with very minimal spindle marking around the center hole. It plays cleanly with excellent sound fidelity and minimal to no background surface noise.
Jacket Condition: Good (G / G+)The original gatefold jacket shows obvious, heavy signs of age and wear. Expect noticeable ring wear, edge scuffing, surface staining, and distinct vintage discoloration/toning common for a 50+ year-old un-laminated white sleeve. While structurally complete, this cover is being strictly graded as Good due to cosmetic wear.
Inserts: Please Note: This copy DOES NOT include the original poster or the 4 individual portrait photos. This listing is for the original numbered gatefold jacket and both 12" vinyl records only.
