CONDITION OF THE RECORD:

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, we grade ALL records under a strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight).

• WE GRADE THE VINYL AS 'BORDERLINE' NEAR-MINT. This album may not qualify to be graded NEAR-MINT by using stringent, rigorous grading - but we believe it is extremely close to NEAR-MINT. At our risk we will grade it as 'BORDERLINE' NEAR-MINT due only to minimal 'gray scuff' (probably caused by shelf storage), and two superficial, 'hair-like' scratches, one found on side 2 and one found on side 4. These light imperfections DO NOT AFFECT THE LISTENING EXPERIENCE and are visible ONLY under a bright light, but are probably not sufficient to significantly lower the overall grade. However, please be forewarned; if you are a demanding collector, this album may be VG++ for your standards, or below your expectations. Please inquire if you need more information.

SPECIFICS;

SIDE 1; 0 scratches, little 'graying'

SIDE 2; 1 superficial, SURFACE 'hair-like' line/scratch, seen ONLY under a bright light (DOES NOT affect play) CAUTION>may be longer than 1.14 inch (1 inch=2.5 centimeters). Some 'graying'

SIDE 3; 0 scratches, some 'graying'

SIDE 4; 1 superficial, SURFACE 'hair-like' line/scratch, seen ONLY under a bright light (DOES NOT affect play) CAUTION>may be longer than 1.14 inch (1 inch=2.5 centimeters). Some 'graying marks/scuffs'

• No spindle marks on labels ~ LOOK AS IF THEY NEVER TOUCHED A TURN-TABLE 
• The records are pressed on a beautiful high quality, thick, semi-flexible vinyl, which is used for the first or very first early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, bright and rich in quality.
• The original luster is very much intact, the vinyl is beautiful.
