This is smooth jazz-funk, not Donald in his earlier guise.
Cover is near mint. There is very small bash to the top right front corner, but hardly anything. The printed inner sleeve still looks very good but it is starting to split both sides where record edge is starting to push through, so care needed not to make it worse. The labels look faded for some reason, particularly side two, which almost looks as if it has been lightly scoured. It hasn't. I can't remember if they have always been like this, it might be a printing issue. The silver text on both sides is perfect when tilted in the light, it is just the background colour beneath that has faded. So definitely not scouring.
Vinyl I am classing as excellent because it plays excellently, but there are a few very light handling marks both sides and some extremely light hairlines on side two but they do not affect play.
