CONDITION – PLEASE READ CAREFULLY:
The gradations of condition I use are as follows: MINT, Near-Mint, Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair, Poor.
The condition of the jacket is VERY GOOD++. There is bumping/wear at corners and some mild discoloration to the rear panel, but that is all. There are no seamsplits, bends, 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 EXCELLENT++. Although surfaces are not absolutely silent, really this is a fine copy and the playback is enjoyable. Those requiring a flawless or near-MINT copy are kindly advised to look elsewhere. Overall, this is an excellent collector's copy.
