Durations printed on the labels verified as correct by playing & timing the record. As compared to the LP versions:
"Billie Jean" repeats the section from approx. 1:11 to 2:33 (starting with "Be careful what you do") one extra time.
"Beat It" repeats the section from approx. 2:07 to 3:30 (the guitar solo plus a little before & after) one extra time.

Both tracks are unique to this release and the green translucent edition

Condition:    Record is in NEAR MINT condition with clean labels.  Cover is in very good - very good+ with light wear but has some old dj stickers on it.  Comes with plain white paper inner sleeve. 

Records are graded visually:

*MINT CONDITION - THE ONLY TIME I USE MINT IS IF A RECORD IS FACTORY SEALED AND UNDAMAGED

*NEAR MINT CONDITION - LOOKS UNPLAYED OR RARELY PLAYED

*VERY GOOD++/EXCELLENT CONDITION - VERY LIGHT OR MINOR SURFACE SCRATCHES OR SCUFFS OR PAPER MARKS CAUSED BY THE INNER SLEEVE THAT DO NOT EFFECT PLAY. BASICALLY, A VERY CLEAN RECORD WHICH IS CLOSE TO BEING NEAR MINT.

*VERY GOOD+ CONDITION - LIGHT BACKGROUND NOISE AND MAY PLAY WITH MINOR POPS. MAY HAVE LIGHT SURFACE SCRATCHES OR SCUFFS BUT NOTHING MAJOR.

*VERY GOOD CONDITION - MAY HAVE SURFACE NOISE AND LIGHT POPS BUT THE RECORD WILL PLAY COMPLETELY THROUGH WITH NO SKIPPING. STILL GOOD ENOUGH TO LISTEN TO AND ENJOY.

*VERY GOOD- CONDITION - MAY PLAY WITH LOUDER CRACKS OR POPS THAN A VERY GOOD CONDITION RECORD AND SURFACE NOISE WILL BE LOUDER AS WELL. RECORD WILL HAVE MORE SCRATCHES OR SCUFFING THAN A VERY GOOD CONDITION RECORD. I DO KEEP RECORDS IN THIS CONDITION IF THEY ARE HARD-TO-FIND UNTIL I COME ACROSS A BETTER CONDITION COPY TO REPLACE IT WITHIN MY OWN COLLECTION.
