Condition:
DISC: Vinyl is nice VG+ to VG++ with 100% of original gloss, appears to have been played a small number of times and handled with care. There are a couple minor scuffs that produce at most an isolated soft tick or two, but no serious marks. Also a couple very minor bubbles that are not problematic. No loud ticks or pops. No skips or jumps. Fidelity is excellent. Labels are clean. A very enjoyable listening experience.
JACKET: Jacket is nice VG+ with no major problems. Front artwork is clean and bright. A few slight traces of ring wear are beginning to appear at the bottom center. Bottom left corner tip has been bumped and there is a saw mark at bottom left corner to indicate this was originally sold as a cut out. Seams are intact except for approx one inch split at bottom right corner opening. Reverse is clean with no writing or stickers, only a bit of minor ring wear is starting to show. Overall a very presentable jacket to accompany the nice sounding disc.
