Important Information! The condition is as expected for records from this era. I have not played it for quality control. I believe the vinyl falls into the VG TO VG+  grade. See Photos. The gatefold is in VG to VG+. The original sleeve has a 5 inch split on bottom, and the poster is in VG+ to E.
 I am not a professional record grader or a dealer! Albums are visually graded so I may miss a flaw.  Discerning collectors, ask your pertinent questions to avoid any disappointment. Remember grading is subjective to the person doing the grading. If you need more information or additional photos...please ask...before bidding. Records are sold "As Is"
Shipped in a new record mailer with cardboard support around both sides of disc. Disc (in separate new rice paper sleeve), original sleeve and poster removed from cover. All inserted into 3mil plastic outer sleeve.

Vinyl Grading System Mint (M) – Absolutely perfect in every way. Never been played and usually sealed. Near Mint (NM) – The record has been on a shelf between other records. The vinyl looks glossy and clearly has only been played a few times. There are no marks on the vinyl and the whole package is complete.

Excellent (E) – Same but I’d tolerate very light marks where the vinyl has been in and out of the inner sleeve a few times, or tiny signs of use generally.

Very Good Plus (VG+) – A few further faults are acceptable, but nothing that really compromises the record visually or audibly. A little rub, light inaudible marks, a little background crackle.

Very Good (VG) – It’s seen a bit of life, but is still usable. Light pops and clicks, an edge split, light visible scratches. You can still listen to it and enjoy looking at it, but it is visually and audibly USED.

Good (G) – To be honest you’re making trouble for yourself here, as Good means Bad. I’d only be selling something really desirable in this condition, with a bargain price and a full, no holds barred description to match.

Poor (P), Fair (F) Attempting to listen will be a disturbing experience. Expect major noise issues, skipping or repeating. The record itself is cracked, badly warped and has deep scratches. The cover is also approaching death.
