w/ original A&M inner sleeve.
vinyl has general wear/light marks/surface marks throughout, with some more visible marks at points. also, at the playing surface in an area on the last two tracks of side 1, there is a sort of spotty waviness (wavey spotiness?) that is either some sort of heat damage or manuacturing defect. I played these tracks and didn't notice it effecting the play. Also played the first track on side 1 (as there were some suspect marks there) and dropped the needle somewhere on side 2. There was definitely surface noise, as would be expected with the amount of wear throughout, and the beginning of track one had some notable cracking and popping. Surface noise varied from notable to only audible at quietest points. Many spindle marks around spindle holes. This record has definitely been played quite a bit.
inner sleeve has general wear throughout.
cover is IN SHRINK. some wear along opening edge where it is not covered by shrink. rear cover (just noticed upon closer examination for this posting) has a sort of bend or curve about 3 or 4 inches from the top, that seems to be some sort of manufacturing defect, or perhaps from extra stuff being stored inside the cover. Shrink has been taped in upper right and lower right corners to keep from coming undone I guess.
