Condition Breakdown (Graded Conservatively)

We believe in accurate grading to ensure your complete satisfaction. Please see the photos, which are an integral part of the description.

VINYL (Records 1 & 2): EX / NM (Excellent to Near Mint)

· This is the highlight of the set. The white vinyl is exceptionally clean and beautiful.

· Both discs have been carefully examined and are very close to Near Mint. They have been played very little.

· Surfaces are glossy and remarkably free of marks. There may be a few minus, hairlines that are only visible under a bright light and do not affect play in any way.

INSERTS: EX (Excellent)

· All four (4) original portrait prints/photos are included and are in excellent condition. They are crisp, clean, and without tears or creases.

· The original lyric/poster sheet is also included and is similarly in excellent condition.

· A fantastic set of inserts that present beautifully.

GATEFOLD COVER: VG (Very Good) most likely VG+

· The cover shows honest wear consistent with its age. The most notable flaws are:

  · Light ring wear on the front and back, visible upon close inspection but not severe.

  · Some general shelf wear along the edges and corners, including slight rubbing and minor soft creases.

· The spine is solid with no splits, and the gatefold itself is fully intact and secure.

· There are no major seams splits, water damage, or writing on the cover. It remains a very presentable and solid copy for its age.
