📀 ITEM CONDITION GRADING:
* **Vinyl Condition:** VG+ (Very Good Plus). Beautiful original gloss and excellent visual preservation. Shows only faint, minor surface wisps and light hairline sleeve marks under bright grading lights. Labels are exceptionally clean with strong silver print and minimal spindle marking around the center hole.
* **Sleeve Condition:** VG (Very Good). The original single-entry right-side pocket gatefold sleeve shows its correct, subtle 1973 midnight-blue tint. Displays light shelf/edge storage wear, gentle corner rubbing, and minor age-related handling, but remains solid with no structural seam splits or heavy tears. Features the iconic original ~68mm circular purple factory hype sticker intact on the front cover.
* **Inserts (100% Complete):**
- Both original fold-out pyramid and band portrait posters are included, crisp, and completely unused (no pinholes, tack marks, or tape residue).
- Both original self-adhesive stickers are intact and unused, featuring the highly sought-after, historically correct diagonal "FasPrint / Crack-Back Patented" text across the white backing paper.
