-Original paste-down framed cover
-Heavy, inflexible vinyl

Condition:
Cover is very nice, with just some light signs of wear. No ring wear or seam splits, just some light rubbing on front top and bottom middle. Back is clean, white. Seams are nice, intact, no cracking. Corners are very good, a couple are bumped. Overall, a very attractive original. Grade: Excellent Minus (EX-), better than typical VG+ copies. Judge from the photos yourself.
Vinyl is also nice, still has much of its original shine. No serious or deep scratches or scuffs, but it does have very small, faint marks and hairlines on both sides, but nothing that should cause any audio problems. Labels are very clean, unmarked, no significant spindle trails.
Play-Tested:
When played in the recommended Mono Mode, this is a very nice sounding record, with clear full-bodied fidelity. Has a hint of pressing noise, but it's really not significant. It would guess that this record has not been played all that much previously, and it's been handled very carefully. A well-preserved original. Grade: Very Good Plus (VG+), better than typical VG copies.
