 Record:

   Side A: Matrix code: PVC 7903-A

Side B: Matrix code: PVC 7903-B

IMPORTANT NOTE:  I am a careful, conservative grader.  All my records are graded visually under strong diffuse light, and I play at least a portion of each record to verify the visual grade.  Any known playback issues are clearly identified in the description.

I grade the record as NEAR MINT.  A few VERY light and superficial scratches/abrasions – probably sleeve scuffs - are barely visible, but do not detract from the visual integrity or beauty of the vinyl. The original luster is very much intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.  It has clearly been very well cared for, and features clear, rich and majestic sound.  You would be hard pressed to find an original copy of this classic album in better condition!

Cover:

I grade the cover as NEAR MINT, with vibrant colors and NO seam splits.

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:

·        Barely noticeable ringwear on the back cover; on the scale from 1 to 10 (1 being the least, and 10 being the most severe), the severity of ringwear is a assessed as a 1.

·        Very slight wear at the top and bottom corners.
