This pressing is a 1982 repress.  Vinyl was play tested through Focal Elegia's and it played as NM-, I numerically scored the audio a 96. The driving issues included a tiny bit of surface noise between B2 and B3, a tiny bit on B3 along with what could have been a missed dust fleck, another such fleck at the very end of A1 and perhaps another on A2 (I wasn't even sure I heard anything but maybe).  A visual inspection reveals a few faint marks and it's probably as close to NM as can be.  Also, let me recommend that you play the B-side first (even if you're just looking, try it on your own); this is the seventh copy of this album I've played this year and I couldn't be happier with the album closing with Thriller. It's perfect and you'll love it 
The sleeve is scored as EX (and even closer visually NM than the vinyl) with super light corner wear on the right corners along with a couple of tiny discoloration spots (you'll only see these things on certain angles but they are there). I was unable to move the OBI and I didn't want to force it over.  The colored booklet, fold out poster and insert showed only light wear.  The OBI shows only very light wear. Based on this I am scoring the jacket a 92 which I feel is the top end of the EX spectrum
Album will be mailed in a cardboard mailer between cardboard with bubble wrap.  If you have any questions please let me know and thanks for looking!
