My personal copy. Has been bagged for MOST of the time I have had it. 

DISCS - Both discs look great, as well as the labels (Side 3 a few small 'sinks' under label)
Sides 1 -3 play NM+/M- (or M), but Side 4 when Zappa starts doing his intro there are 5 tics (one per rotation) and then 2-3 faint ones. No scratch, but I see the 'silver specks' in a small area (where that is) of what I call the 'incomplete groove syndrome.' As the last tracks is fading almost completely away you also hear a fairly loud tic.

So, they look like new (M+/M-), and play that way with the only flaw being what I pointed out on Side 4 (NM--?)

They have the inscription messages in the deadwax

COVER - NM--/NM- (very mild age discoloration at edges. see it more at the top edge BC)

Original INNER SLEEVES - I stored them separate from the gatefold cover many years ago, but they were in there for a while. So, both may not be as light as they were originally. The Disc 1 'Army' one has a 2-1/2" split carefully glued (left seam) may have light age discoloration
LIVE sleeve - EX

Took photos outside with natural light to get an even/true look with no flash.

No petition---I think I got people to sign mine, as I got a "SAVE LENNON" blue button with white letters through the mail. Definitely got fellow college students to sign one. Maybe it was a separate petition thing thru a ROLLING STONE ad. I can't be sure. Still have the button. NO petition with the LP now.

POSTCARD - WAS like new, but like with other paper things I have in this old wooden set of drawers with wide flat deep drawers, silverfish or some other bugs can get in there!! A bug nibbled some on the coated front. Took good pics with sun at angles to show the damage. I discovered this years ago and now bag/sleeve anything good in there that is paper or cardboard!!! And have cedar blocks/balls, etc. But, the cow was already out of the barn. Still very nice and has been bagged SINCE.

Wish I had one of those METAL big flat drawer files!!!

So, this is a first pressing I assume based on what I see online. Did not take pics of all the labels since the ones I did take made them look washed out. I wrote down the matrix numbers and the 'messages' ARE there.
