### CONDITION REPORT & GRADING
**Vinyl Condition: VG **
The vinyl retains a nice, healthy gloss. Under bright light, it shows simple, light cosmetic surface scratches and faint paper wisps.
The surface marks are completely superficial and do not affect play. There are no deep feelable gouges, no skips, no recurring loud pops, and no tracking issues. It plays loudly, clearly, and powerfully with great mono fidelity.
**Cover Condition: VG)**
The original laminated jacket shows typical shelf wear and aging, but the artwork remains bold. There is light ring wear and corner rubbing. No heavy writing, major water damage, or tracking stains.
**Inner Sleeve Good+:**
Includes the original vintage paper liner sleeve.
2.5 inch unnoticeable seam split on middle bottom
Conservatively downgraded to a good+ due to seam split
---
### SHIPPING & PACKAGING
The record will be removed from its jacket prior to transit to completely prevent any seam splits during shipping. Housed safely in a a special record wrap and shipped securely in a dedicated cardboard record mailer.
