The jacket is in VG+ condition. All corners remain sharp and all edges remain intact with no seam splitting. The jacket remains relatively clean. As shown in the picture, there is a small area in the top right corner of the front of the jacket where there are the small remains of an address sticker. This has been mostly removed without any harm to the original finish on the jacket, however, there remains a bit of the sticker. Overall, the cover is quite beautiful save for this small blemish.
The vinyl is VG++ as the only signs of wear are some superficial abrasions from the paper sleeve. These are very faint, have no effect on the sound quality and are also only on the second side of the LP. IMPORTANT: The LP does have a very slight warp which does not effect play, but is noticeable only visually.
Bid with confidence. All items are shipped in sturdy, cardboard record mailers. Jacket will be protected by a polymer bag and the vinyl will be shipped in a poly-lined paper sleeve outside of the jacket to ensure that there is no damage to the jacket during shipment.
Thanks for looking and good luck. Please contact me with any question.
