**PLAYBACK, CONDITION & GRADING (VISUAL GRADE ONLY):**
Please review the condition notes and view the high-resolution photos carefully. This vintage record is visually graded only. I do not own a turntable and am UNABLE TO PLAY-TEST this record. It is sold STRICTLY VISUALLY GRADED and AS-IS. Because this is untested, it may play with surface noise, clicks, or pops. It is priced and sold as an untested item with NO PLAYBACK GUARANTEES. No returns or partial refunds based on audio playback quality will be accepted.

* **VINYL CONDITION (VG+):** Visual grading only. The disc looks beautiful and retains a highly brilliant, deep original factory gloss across both sides. Only a few minor faint, superficial paper scuffs/hairlines visible under direct light. There are absolutely no deep or feelable scratches, and the playing surface remains highly reflective. The iconic "Under One Flag" centre labels are exceptionally crisp, vibrant, and clean with no spindle trail wear. Features authentic machine-stamped "FLAG 8"  and hand-etched "A1" / "B 1" . This highly collectible variation utilizes the original 1984 Swedish Black Mark master plates, featuring the original 'UT' codes cross-hatched and scratched out by the factory on both sides. Side 1 features the authentic hand-etched cross symbol, and Side 2 features the iconic hand-etched pentagram symbol in the dead wax.
* **INNER SLEEVE/INSERT (VG):** Includes the original generic die-cut plain white inner from the period. No other inserts came with this pressing
* **OUTER SLEEVE (VG):** Beautiful single-pocket cardboard jacket featuring the iconic white goat artwork with crisp black tones. The front and back cover panels remain remarkably bright, clean, and vibrant. The spine layout is strong, solid, un-split, and completely legible, showing only a few tiny horizontal storage stress creases radiating into the front artwork panel. Shows honest, typical age-related storage wear, including mild edge whitening and localized softening/fraying at the corner tips. It features small, minor storage stress creases and tiny nicks radiating along the top edge, opening border edge, and spine areas. The opening edge remains straight and the perimeter seams are tight and un-split. 


**IMPORTANT BUYER AGREEMENT & PHOTO POLICY:**Please review all high-resolution listing photographs carefully before purchasing. These photos represent the exact item you will receive and serve as an essential part of the physical item description. By purchasing or making an offer, you explicitly agree that you are buying this vintage item based on the visual condition shown in the photos and the documented 'unplayed/visual-only' grading.
Camera & Photo Disclaimer: Photos show representative examples of the surface wear. Due to the highly reflective nature of vinyl, it is impossible for a camera to capture every single micro-scratch or hairline. Please assume the playing surface has similar light visual scuffs throughout.
