Cover is in EX- condition. Two minuscule pin holes near right edge. Two stickers affixed to cover. Some minor shelfwear, but all seams are excellent. Spine is in outstanding condition. Tiny paper bend to upper left corner only notable on rear cover.

Vinyl (VG+) has been played (given it was a library copy) and has numerous light surface marks that do not negatively impact playback. This contract pressing has a dull vinyl (compared to the luster of a Capitol Records pressing). Deadwax etchings are hard to see but seem to be SW-1-153 A9 54 P / SW-2-153 4-11 45 2 P.

Atypically wide pressing ring indicating the Columbia Records (California plant) contract pressing.
