Condition:
The record is in EXCELLENT condition. The vinyl retains a strong deep gloss with only the faintest signs of handling visible under strong light. No feelable marks and nothing that detracts from playback — a very clean example. EXCELLENT.
The sleeve is in VERY GOOD condition. There is visible general wear including edge wear, corner knocks, light creasing, and some surface scuffing. The spine remains intact and readable, and the structure is solid. VERY GOOD.
The original inner sleeve is in VERY GOOD condition, showing creasing, age wear, and handling.
The posters are in EXCELLENT PLUS condition overall, with only light handling wear and no major damage.
The stickers are in EXCELLENT condition, clean and unused with only minimal signs of age.
