Vinyl LP
LYNYRD SKYNYRD "Street Survivors"
MCA-3029
From 1977
Label runout: MCA 1366 &1367
Matrix runout side 1:  MCA-2 F7 MASTERED BY CAPITOL Matrix runout side 2:  CR5F5 (No mastered by capitol) Also there's a symbol that cannot be reproduced:
Appears to be two small boxes with a letter or digit in the middle.
Flames cover  (After a plane crash, killing several band members,
the cover was changed at the request of the band member's widows) 
I believe this is a first pressing
Includes an insert with recording information on one side
and a Skynyrd merchandise offer on the other.
The gatefold cover is intact with no seam splits. It has plenty of handling wear:  Ring wear on the rear side
and corner rubs.
The vinyl has been cleaned and thoroughly play tested:
In excellent playing condition. A couple of minor marks on the vinyl but with no effect. The only surface noise noticed was brief, light and at  the tail-end of the second track's fade out.
Other than that it plays clean.
You may hear a soft pop in a couple of   the dead wax areas between tracks.
But that's scarce. Excellent  VG++ condition

BE WARY OF SIGHT GRADED RECORDS  Rating vinyl by visual inspection is a flawed process. Many times it results in an inflated grade.

Almost all records sold on ebay are rated visually. While this is a useful process for obvious flaws, such as scratches and rubs, it fails to detect hidden sound problems such as skips, pops and crackle. Crackle sounds somewhat like the sound frying bacon makes while cooking. The only way to accurately rate record quality, simply put, is to play it. I am a low volume seller and take the time to thoroughly test the sound quality of records. All records up for sale are play tested. I strive for accurate description of sound quality. Any record with excessive background noise is rejected and not offered for sale.

All records are packaged in a commercial record mailer. Records are removed from the cover before packing to prevent seam splits during mailing. In the case of a single album, the record and cover are placed in a plastic sleeve. They are protected by the ample use of cardboard inserts and bubble wrap. The outside of the package is clearly stamped as 'FRAGILE' 
Media mail shipping is $4.00 additional individual albums may be combined with minor additional shipping charges. Shipping discount up to 3 records. Additional record purchases will be packaged and charged separately with original mailing costs. This is due to limited record mailer depth.
You may return any album that does not play to your satisfaction. However, please email me with any problems you have in this regard before return. All albums must be returned in the time allotted and in the same condition and manner as they were shipped. This applies to individual LPs and lots.  I will reimburse your purchase price and original mailing cost.  I package records with great care and ship with delivery confirmation.  

Note:  Currently, USPS delivery is very slow.
