all 3 seams are intact with very light wear

moderate front cover wear 

definite wear on back cover: lots of yellowing, plus staining along edges

clean is vinyl (LP is 65 years old), but not perfect: side #1: light 1/2 scratch + several scuffs/hairlines 

side # 2: no real scratches but several scuffs/hairlines

  International Customers: DO NOT SEND PAYMENT UNTIL YOU RECEIVE INVOICE

I am an expert shipper. I will remove the inner sleeve and vinyl from the outer sleeve to prevent seam-splits in transit, and I will package the LP using a rigid mailer and reinforced cardboard. Being a collector myself, I understand the great importance of accurate product listings, professional packing, and fast shipping.

International customers are welcome!!!

International Mail $25

  Canada $17
