The condition of the gatefold jacket is very good with the expected wear and tear for a 52-year-old product, mostly on the edges.  The original reprise sleeves are good with some separated edges.  The vinyl looks clean but does have one visible scratch that is visible depending on the light angle but could produce pops/clicks.  There are also minor scratches that may or may not produce pops/clicks and some scuff marks that are visible depending on the light angle. However, the main feature is Sammy's signature which is very strong and is where the value is.  If you find another record with better quality vinyl you'll have the best of both worlds.  Check ebay listings.
