**PLAYBACK, CONDITION & GRADING (VISUAL GRADE ONLY):**
Please review the condition notes and view the high-resolution photos carefully. This vintage record is visually graded only. I do not own a turntable and am UNABLE TO PLAY-TEST this record. It is sold STRICTLY VISUALLY GRADED and AS-IS. Because this is untested, it may play with surface noise, clicks, or pops. It is priced and sold as an untested item with NO PLAYBACK GUARANTEES. No returns or partial refunds based on audio playback quality will be accepted.

* **VINYL CONDITION (G+ / VG):** Visual grading only. The disc retains its deep original lustre across the tracks. Side 1 shows a bright, prominent diagonal paper scuff mark, a hook-shaped superficial hairline, and a cluster of fine, parallel hair scratches running horizontally near the centre label ring.  Crucially, all of these marks are completely smooth to the touch, cannot be felt with a soft fingernail, and should not cause any physical needle skips. Side 2 is visually cleaner with only light, standard superficial paper scuffs. The classic purple-tinted Capitol centre labels are beautiful and crisp with zero spindle trail wear. Runout features the authentic machine-stamp: "798531".
* **INNER SLEEVE/INSERT (VG+):** Includes the authentic original printed inner lyrics/credits sleeve. The artwork and text remain very clean and crisp, and the paper body lies flat with straight edges. No major corner folds, writing, or ugly seam breakthroughs.
* **OUTER SLEEVE (VG):** Beautiful single-pocket cardboard jacket. The front and back are incredibly bright and vibrant with full, deep colours. The spine layout is strong, solid, un-split, and completely legible, showing only a few tiny horizontal storage stress creases radiating into the front artwork panel. Shows typical light edge wear/whitening from long-term storage. The bottom corner tips show minor localized dinging, blunt indentation, and light cardboard softening/fraying. The opening edge remains straight and the perimeter seams are tight and un-split. Completely free from ringwear scuffing, ink writing, or barcode defacement. 
**IMPORTANT BUYER AGREEMENT & PHOTO POLICY:** Please review all high-resolution listing photographs carefully before purchasing. These photos represent the exact item you will receive and serve as an essential part of the physical item description. By purchasing or making an offer, you explicitly agree that you are buying this vintage item based on the visual condition shown in the photos and the documented 'unplayed/visual-only' grading.
Camera & Photo Disclaimer: Photos show representative examples of the surface wear. Due to the highly reflective nature of vinyl, it is impossible for a camera to capture every single micro-scratch or hairline. Please assume the playing surface has similar light visual scuffs throughout.
**PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED PRIOR TO SHIPPING:** This record has been deep-cleaned using a Spin-Clean system with distilled water and anti-static solution to clear any microscopic storage dust. It has been placed into a brand new, clean anti-static inner sleeve. It will be shipped alongside the original printed insert inside a new outer record sleeve to keep everything pristine.
**SHIPPING & PACKAGING:** Will be shipped securely packaged in a dedicated cardboard record mailer.
