The record is in excellent condition, graded as EX, while the inlay is VG+. The sleeve is graded as VG and is the original cover.

Here are the details on this numbered first press original vinyl 12” Double LP


This is a an original first pressing done at the Scranton PA Capitol Records pressing facility. This is evidenced by the Triangle IAM stamp in the runouts / dead wax on sides 1-4


The vinyl is very clean, very conservative EX quiet with very little background noise (I am running a 1992 Denon Direct Drive turntable with a Lynn Sondek Tonearm and an Ortofon cartridge & Stylus)
