AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTOS, THIS COPY MEETS ALL OF THESE CRITERIA.
THE VINYL LOOKS GREAT IN NORMAL DAYLIGHT AND A BRIGHT LAMP REVEALS NOTHING MORE THAN SOME FAINT NEEDLE TRACES AND SLEEVE BRUSHES.....CERTAINLY NOTHING DEEP OR FEELABLE. NONE OF THE MARKING HAS ANY EFFECT ON PLAYBACK, WHICH HAS SUPER CLARITY AND NO ISSUES AT ALL....NOT EVEN ANY NOTICEABLE (TO MY EARS) HISS/CRACKLE. THE LABELS ARE VERY CLEAN AND TIDY WITH JUST 3/4 SPINDLE TRAILS ON EITHER SIDE. THE GATEFOLD SLEEVE HAS UNFORTUNATELY BEEN EXPOSED TO MOISTURE AT SOME TIME IN THE PAST WHICH HAS CAUSED SOME RIPPLING (SEE PIC). THE SPINE IS A LITTLE OUT OF SQUARE BUT PERFECTLY INTACT AND LEGIBLE. THER ARE A COUPLE OF TINY SCUFFS ALONG THE OPENING ON THE REAR.
NOT A MINT COPY, BUT CERTAINLY A VERY COLLECTABLE ONE IN GENERALLY EXCELLENT CONDITION.
COMBINED P&P WHERE APPLICABLE.
ALL LPs SENT IN CARDBOARD CRUCIFORM MAILER + EXTRA SIFFENER.
***************************

I do not clean vinyl before shipping. Please do so before playing any record.
