Vinyl in excellent condition and looks superbly clean with just a bit of faint scuffing in the run-off grooves. Plays through very nicely with just some light crackles at the very start of both sides.
Sleeve in excellent condition and looks super with just light edge/corner wear, and a very small amount of very light storage rub-wear. No ringwear or writing, and virtually no creases. Two tiny sticker removal surface tears on rear. There is one small tear in the surface paper on the main spine, but otherwise the spines are in-shape with no splits. Inside looks good with just a bit of light dust/surface marking in places.
Inner sleeve in excellent condition. (See below for more photos)
