Description

THIS copy is for those who appreciate great mastering and audiophile sound quality. 
To quote one review on discogs: "Don’t sleep on this one, it sounds excellent. Wide soundstage and great mastering overall."
The matrix dead-wax runout etchings are correct, they're in the vinyl matrix number field.
The lacquer was cut by Steve Guy, with his barely visible initials at the end of the pressing plant matrix number in the dead-wax.
NO poster, sorry.
Visually graded vinyl looks Near-MINT and both labels are clean.   The original generic WARNER/REPRISE LOSS LEADERS printed advertising innersleeve is included and has no seam splits or rips or writing.
Gatefold jacket has very light shelf-wear on the outer lamination, and the inner lamination panels have NO wear.
NO stains, NO corner cutting or notch or drill hole.
NO writing, NO stickers, NO seam-splits.
The only noteworthy flaw is a light water stain that's visible along the spine, can be seen from the front and the back, see my close-up photos.
Corners are in great shape, except for a small corner bump on the upper spine. 

Vinyl or CD surfaces are graded visually. Grading is conservative, using the traditional "Goldmine" grading standard, with a very bright light and checking from many angles. 

I've been buying and selling vinyl and CDs on and off eBay for decades, and I'm reactivating this account to resume selling.
