Description
This is the actual first Japanese Edition of this album as evidenced by the OBI (they changed the OBI slightly on a subsequent press) I have attached the discogs link for your review.

Vinyl was play tested through Focal Elegia's and it played as NM. I numerically score the vinyl a 97. This is the 4th Japanese vinyl I've had and the best sounding so far. There was a tiny bit of surface noise on A1 (the instrumental, they all have it), with a tiny, tiny, tiny bit at the start of A5 & A6 and perhaps what could have been a missed dust fleck on B3. A visual inspection reveals a couple of super faint hairlines and visually is more like NM- but 100% better than EX. This is about as perfect as it gets.
The sleeve is scored as EX and probably more like EX-. Numerically I use 83-93 for Excellent (like an A- to a solid B) and I'm scoring this an 84. Driving the grade most is what looks like a puffy white cloud on the rear; it's not. It's part of a small stain that you'll only see on angles. Beyond this there is light corner wear, most noticeably on the top left corner, light wear to the pink on the seams which I attempted to capture with a dimpled area to the left of the band name running 34mm and super faint ring wear at 6 position. The OBI and insert show only light wear. Overall, it really is in excellent shape.
Album will be mailed in a cardboard mailer between cardboard with bubble wrap. If you have any questions please let me know and thanks for looking!
