Up for auction is my personal copy of an absolute beautiful album. This album has been kept in a V.R.P. sleeve since acquiring it. Considering its age, it is still in awesome condition! There are some light surface marks and abrasions, mostly light and superficial. Nothing that can be felt. The album itself is pretty quite so there is some background noise (popping, ticking, etc) throughout. Some of this might be able to be cleaned up with a good VPI deep clean. Also, there are some acid stains on the vinyl that do not effect play. Overall, it still has a nice luster and is a great play copy. The cover/sleeve itself is in great condition outside of one minor corner crease. It also has some very minor ringwear and staining (on the backside). I would give it an overall grade of VG+/VG+. Not a perfect copy but very much worth owning. 
Please look over pictures for more details. If you have ANY questions, please ask before bidding! Thanks and good luck! 

IMPORTANT NOTE: This vinyl is for sale locally and if it sells for the asking price, I have the right to cancel the auction at any point! 

Shipping: Item will be removed from original sleeve and inserted into a 3mil poly bag. Vinyl+Sleeve will be placed between two 12.5x12.5 cardboard cutouts and then bubble wrap on each side of that. Professional mailer(s) will be used. Item will be shipped via Media Mail. If you would like other services, please let me know.
