CONDITION REPORT
THE VINYL: VG+ (Very Good Plus)
Visual: Conservatively listed as Very Good Plus (VG+) but likely near to EX. Excellent gloss retention. Displays light, superficial surface hairlines and minor paper scuffs under direct light from normal sleeve retrieval over the years. Absolutely no deep, feelable scratches. Labels are incredibly clean, bright, and free of writing or spindle wear flaking.
Audio: Excellent (EX). Plays through cleanly, loudly, and with clarity on standard audio setup. No jumps, no sticks, and great tracking fidelity throughout.
THE GATEFOLD SLEEVE: Very Good Plus (VG+)
Conservatively listed as Very Good Plus (VG+) but likely near to EX.
Structure: Solid, clean, and beautifully kept. The fragile spine remains remarkably strong, uncrushed, and fully readable across both text plates (see photos). Inner lyric panels are entirely intact, crisp, and unfaded.
Wear: Minimal edge wear from careful shelf storage. Includes a small vintage price sticker on the top front corner, authentic to the period. No seam splits, tears, or writing.

Please study the clear, high-definition macro photos to verify the pristine state of the spine and
label center holes.
