This listing
Record visually in VG+ condition: many very light marks and a few heavier, none felt with finger, viewed in bright light.  
Play testing reveals great live sound and obvious 'tics' in many places-- audio sample below.  Some sections much cleaner.  Great luster.  Outer sleeve only G with taped splits, very heavy wear to spine, general wear.  
Seems like a rare cover for this album.  Deep groove, mono pressing.
Please see photos and ask any questions.

My Vinyl Philosophy
Some sellers rely solely on "visual grading", hiding the fact that even though a record looks pristine, it may sound terrible.  Records that I review are play-tested and their sonic qualities described.  I won't list pressings which sound muted in any range, compressed, or that are just not recorded "hot" enough.  Those with significant noise will be listed only if the record or performance is rare.
As most collectors know, even identical pressings can sound different.   Even a brand new record may have defects.  Even renowned issues like the original Columbias, Mercury Living Presence and DG 'tulip' pressings can sound as bad as a budget label.  That's why I play-test everything I list.  
Please see my feedback and ask any questions.  Records are cleaned thoroughly with distilled water and a clean microfiber before play-testing.  Condition will improve, of course, with a professional cleaning.
