Mike Watt – Ball-Hog or Tugboat?
Columbia C2 66464 2xLP, Album, Blue Vinyl 1995 US

Vinyl Grade
NM: Colored vinyl can hide wear but I do not see any marks under bright light.  The translucent blue vinyl has some very small black specks in it – very nice pressing!  Label has some wear at hole but that could have easily been done at the pressing plant.

in printed inner sleeves that are in great condition – just some light wear and expected ring impression.

Sleeve Grade
Would be EX but has upper left corner cut.  Clean inside, some ring wear, light edge/corner wear.
