CONDITION:
The gradations of condition I use are as follows: MINT, Near-Mint, Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair, Poor.
The condition of the jacket is EXCELLENT++. Really, the flaws are very minor – some slight bumping at corners and a former price sticker to the rear panel, but that is all. Otherwise, the album might almost appear as new. There are no seamsplits or owners' markings and the whole remains very solid, bright, and glossy – overall, a lovely collector's copy.
The condition of the LP itself is similarly EXCELLENT++. Although the surfaces are not completely CD silent, in general the playback is superb. Only those requiring an absolutely flawless copy need hesitate. Overall, this rates as a truly excellent collector's copy.
