Condition:  Cover: This rare first pressing of AC/DC's "Highway to Hell" from Australia boasts a cover that tells a story. With only subtle shelf wear at the bottom and a hint of its journey evident in the form of sticker residue on the front, it's a piece of music history. The top shows the beginnings of a split, a minor mark on the rear, all speaking to its authentic vintage character. Detailed photos are available to showcase its charm. Rated EX- (Excellent Minus), it's a collector's dream with just enough character to showcase its journey.

Vinyl: No Spindle Marks. Side one is visually perfect, and graded NM (Near Mint) condition, as nothings perfect, preserving the iconic sounds of AC/DC as they were meant to be heard. Tempted to say Mint. Side two, shows a couple of minor surface marks, which are minor and don't affect play on my record player. Overall EX+ (Excellent PLUS) condition, ensuring a high-quality listening experience. It's really in unbelievable shape - I'd love to call it Near Mint, but I consider any visual flaws unacceptable for this grade.
