This is another “no hidden agenda Sale”, by a fellow advocate of ' classic audio. ~ See Feedback for a lot of happy buyers, especially concerning my audio Listings.
Classic music Quality as it was “intended to be heard”
If you're just discovering music on vinyl', these truly preserved pieces of music history have minimal cosmetic *flaws, considering that (many LPs) like this one have traveled or, if you will, been on a “journey to you” since 1973'!! *flaw(s) referring more to the jacket, itself. So you'd be hard pressed to find another offering that could exceed this one,unless of course it's an album that is [Still Sealed], …
but mine's also not priced at $200.oo :^)

( #1 press < marked in vinyl margin betw. last song & label, on both sides. )
And as photos show ~ yes, the original Posters appear as though they have never been unfurled nor have they ever been hung on a wall'! ~
There are a nominal amount of **pops which are mostly noticed during the quietness of the recorded intro. But as the vocals begin, (Side 1, 1st song), the music smooths~out. You see a minor hump in rotation, to the slight warp I' give it a 93% healthy play rating. ~ Otherwise, you need only to put it on your turntable and enjoy letting the music breathe into your listening area. The photos are my only other option to convey the condition.
**Eccentric reading ~(Continued below)~ specific to the selling of “record / album / LPs
I when I package albums, I use ultimate care using a rigid
pizza-box approach ~ for more than adequate protection.
I believe in fair trade practices & that communication `is the answer.

I REBATE differences in “Actual Shpg. Charge”, wherever applicable, especially when ebay's Calculator shows a higher rate than what it actually cost me to mail the item.
I 've nothing to gain by misrepresenting items that I list. I believe in fair trade practices & that communication `is the answer. INTEGRITY: you can count on my items to be "accurately represented". “I'm accountable” and look forward to doing business with you.

“IMPORTANT record / album / LPs ~( Continued )~
“Vinyl record grade” according to Goldmine Magazine on “VeryGood+” …
even 'I' wouldn't have been so lenient ~ and I selected THIS specific EX: of rating because, unless an LP is 100% sealed in its original plastic,
I won't rate any vinyl as 'mint' “mint” only because doing so is very subjective to what others' define as "mint". Some have much higher or unreal expectations, (i.e., expecting the spin of the album to be completely absent of even one 'pop', glitch, hiss ~ or other anomalies -nearly inherent when playing vinyl in its classic & for-all-time format'!
Here's a further word, or two hundred on the subject:
I don't care to sell to such buyer/collectors who think that every inch that the stylus travels in a (physical groove) should be as clear & silent between notes ( as a CD !!?) ...these folks are not living in the real world. As for myself and my own collection, 'I' am not so picky and simply adhere to enjoying the analog smoothness of the music.
I'm not a long-term seller of' nor specialist in vinyl. But at 56, I've experienced enough turntable time & proper 'Disc-Washing' to know that the blackest, mirror-like, shiny & wet-looking record can play many pops & glitches, especially along the leading edge and into the 1st cut on the album, ( Side 1 and 2 ), where most mishandling occurs.
In my offering an LP, I'm providing as much visual information as I am able without using a photography studio and high-$ macro lenses, nor will I have played every song, nor have time to critique, with an written paragraph, expanding upon each song or track.
I tend to represent an album in this manner:
Seeing an LP that has SOLD for $100 and `happens to be “just like mine ??”, you'll likely see me starting the very same album at $30 to $45. ~ Why? Because I'd rather have Sold an item and have a happy buyer than holding onto the album (and-a-wish' )~ that I'd gotten the hundred dollars.

“VG+” Generally worth 50 percent of the Near Mint value.
A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it.
Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK".
The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable.
Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turned up corners or a slight split in the seams. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was takenout of print and sold at a discount.
In general, if not for a couple things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint. All but the most mint-crazy collectors will find a Very Good Plus record highly acceptable. -
if there's a “No Returns” status? ...this is based on my having made it clear ‘what you will receive, both in the Photos & in my description.
It would be a waste of my time to try and pursue under-handed selling practices.
