·       ORIGINAL CUSTOM NBC ENTERTAINMENT LABELS UNIQUE TO THIS TITLE WITH THE GRAY AND WHITE IMAGE OF THE GROUP.

·       THE BOX SET COMES WITH TWO (2) RADIO CUE SHEETS, AND THE AFFIDAVIT OF PERFORMANCE (LEGAL STATEMENT WHICH CERTIFIES THAT THE RADIO STATION WILL BE OR ALREADY HAS AIRED THE SET (THIS WAS REQUIRED TO SATISFY THE SPONSORS WHO PAID FOR THE BROADCAST AND THE COMMERCIALS) ; SINCE THE AFFIDAVIT WAS NEVER COMPLETED AND MAILED BACK TO NBC, IT REMAINS QUESTIONABLE WHETHER THIS PARTICULAR COPY WAS EVER PLAYED OR AIRED)

·       THIS IS THE ORIGINAL, AUTHENTIC, FIRST U.S. PRESSING; THIS IS NOT A REISSUE, AN IMPORT, OR A COUNTERFEIT PRESSING.

·       ORIGINAL, 3/4-INCH THICK CARDBOARD BOX

·       CONDITION:

·       RECORD

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)          WE GRADE THE VINYL AS STRONG NEAR MINT. The original luster is very much intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.

(b)          The records are   pressed on a RELATIVELY  thick, inflexible vinyl. This is NOT a thin, flimsy ('dynaflex' type),  vinyl, but not the thickest, most rigid vinyl, either.

(c)           The album comes with two (2) radio cue sheets, plus the affidavit of airing.

(d)          Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

·       COVER (3/4-inch box)

THE BOX IS ABOUT VERY GOOD+ (VG+)

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the box:

-        The lid (top part) of the box is busted; with sides separated on three sides (top, bottom, center) and three split corners

-        The box has some light ring wear (nothing significant); On the scale from 1 to 10 (1 being the least, and  10 being the most severe), we assess the severity of ring wear as 3

-        The box shows JUST A HINT of yellowing on both sides, apparently from aging.

-        The box has a few tiny scratch marks on the front side  and a long, visible scratch mark on the back panel.

-        The box has a partially split top seam (between 2 and 4 inches  / 5 to 10 centimeters)

-        The box has some fraying/wear along the upper seam

-        Front panel has circular tarnish (grayish, dust-covered sections, which closely follow the contour of the record),  probably caused by friction or by rubbing against other covers during the storage. The tarnish is similar in appearance to a common ring wear, but, UNLIKE ring wear, these grayish areas may be possible to clean up with a minor effort and with a right cleansing solution.

NO OTHER VISIBLE FLAWS OR IMPERFECTIONS ON THE  COVER
