The COVER  VG  Has shelf wear. The worst thing is the spine is split about 5". Minimal wear on the top and bottom seams. Decent corners, no heavy bumps. Next worse thing is a previous owners name stamped 3 times on the front and 4 times on the back. On the back, bottom right corner, there is a printed #6. This signifies a LA recording plant. No writing,  no tears, bends or creasing. No cutout notches.                                                                                                                      

The VINYL  VG-   Play graded both sides. Looks VG- with a lot of fine scratches. There is one half inch mark across song A1 Wouldn't it be Nice that Surprisingly, didn't have repetitive ticking. I have a photo of my song by song play grading. Basically,  has a continuous,  low level crackle that mostly dissappears during the music. The noise never overpowers the music. NO SKIPS. I just returned one of these albums because it had 10 skips on a visually graded record.  This is still an enjoyable play without damage to your stylus. Not your final collection copy but a playable one until you can afford a better copy. Checked it for any warping and the disc is flat.                                                                             

The LABELS  VG   Has some spindle hole wear and a few spindle scratches. No writing .                                                                                         

The SLEEVE  VG original factory printed sleeve with advertising for other records of the same time period. Has a 4" split on one side. Rest is solid.

All records will be mailed in sturdy, recycled record specific mailer boxes with extra padding.  Disc will be removed from jacket to eliminate splitting caused by transit shifting.  I use USPS Media mail.  I am happy to combine shipping. The first album is $5.50.   Up to 3 more,free.                                                                                                                           Lower 48 US states sales only. International sales can be made through Ebay. Very expensive.
