Notes?

.

LABEL:    COLUMBIA Masterworks  (mono)

.

CONDITION, VINYL:   NEAR-MINT-  (EXCELLENT) has very little surface 'gray'... very clean (FAINT few spindle 'hair-likes'~under light only)! That's all! 

.

CONDITION, COVER:  VG+;  front; little wear...with start of small 'graying'/plus small piece white tape under album number (easily removable) / 'white' back shows start of very little 'yellowing'/corners; no real wear...maybe one corner with a very small 'tip' bend!... looks great. Plus, really no ring to talk about! Top seam shows a small split at open end (3 in), bottom seam shows a bit of 'fraying'... that's about it!!
