Record has been washed in a Spin-Clean. Using Discogs grading standards I would rate the album and jacket as VG+ condition. Both sides are shiny and clean, with no scratches. Side 1 has almost no marks or signs of wear. Side 2 is also very clean and shiny but with some faint paper scuffing that does not affect playback. I sampled a few tracks on each side and found the record to be flat and plays with very little surface. Visually there are no signs of anything that would cause any skips. The labels are both clean with a few faint spindle marks.

The gatefold jacket is in nice shape. Tip-on graphics have some wear on the front and and corners but there are no split seams, writing, tears or other damage. Back side has a very faint amount of ring wear. Inside of gatefold is excellent, the only flaws being a small 1/4" spot on each panel where it appears to have been stuck together. See photos for details. From a smoke-free home.

Album will be shipped via Media Mail in a cardboard record mailer with the record stored in a plain inner sleeve outside of the jacket to prevent seam splits in transit. Please check out my other listings for more classic rock LPs and CDs; I will combine shipping for other albums.
