Cover:  VG+   Intact and clean.  Light wear on the insert edge with slight paper loss.  Very light aging on the back cover.  Overall fine condition.

Record:  VG++  Visually shows light wear, mainly on Side 1 with several surface rub marks. On Side 1, Track 1 there is slight groove noise for the first 2  or 3 revolutions ,, "Un Poco Loco" 1st take.  Minor groove noise on 1 or 2 revolutions with a few light light clicks on Track 4. Also, some groove noise and light crackles on Track 6.  On Side 2 there are a few light crackles on Track 2. Also, slight groove noise for 3 or 4 revolutions and several light clicks on Track 4.  I have detailed the audible surface noise but, in general, the overall sound and quality is fine. Heavy vinyl pressing.  Audibly checked.
