Cat# TAANG1 28 (Misprinting instead of TAANG!) on spine, second Cat# T28LP are on labels Run-out groove (Side A): TAANG 28-A MASTERED BY TRUTONE Pa 9-88 Run-out groove (Side B): TAANG 28-B MASTERED BY TRUTONE Pa 9-88  This record is an excellent condition with only a couple visible light scratches. It can be hard to assess the condition of translucent vinyl with eyes alone, but I think it's safe to say that this record will still sound great and shouldn't have much surface noise and definitely no skips. There could possibly be an audible pop or click or 2, here and there, mostly noticeable in between songs. VG+++ / EX
The insert, likewise, has almost zero visible wear and tear. Like many used inserts, the seam is split at the bottom and right edges, but the splits are only an inch and a half, and 3 inches, respectively. Apart from that, there are some very light, very minor, indents around the shape of the enclosed record, but they are almost not worth mentioning. There are some vague signs of light handling as well, but the insert is for the most part smooth and crisp. I would rate it VG++, in spite of the small seam splits, because of it's otherwise unblemished overall look.
The cover is likewise is an really great shape with only one significant ding on it. It is an area on the back cover where it looks like a sticker got stuck on to the surface and pulled off a few flakes of the cover with it when it was removed. I have included a close up picture of that area. Apart from that there are only a small handful of veins and only one of them is anywhere close to significant. And even that one is only an inch long, at most. There is very slight ring wear on front and back but it not that noticeable on the front due to the pattern and colors of the cover design, and even on the back it is very minor. The spine edge is also is great shape with all titles still intact and only a bit of faint wear. One of the 4 corners of the cover has a tiny bend in it. (about a half inch) and the other 3 corners have only slight wear. Overall, this cover rates VG++ at least. Possibly leaning more towards VG+++
A rare, color vinyl, 1st pressing, with only 1000 copies produced, but the high starting price of this auction is also due to the excellent condition of the overall package. (record, insert and cover)
