This pressing is a 1985 repress.  Vinyl was play tested through Focal Elegia's and it played as NM, I numerically scored the audio a 98 and it sounded perfect with almost no surface noise at all only really noticeable for the first 2 seconds of 'Dream On' however beyond that this is a super quiet pressing that sounds wicked good.  I always take notes while I play albums and I have the word 'shocking' in quotes; it sounds so good I was just blown away.  The vinyl appears unplayed and may well have been until I got it with the A-side showing no marks at all and the B-side showing some faint marks (it looks like it move out of the plastic sleeve and rubbed a bit on the top of the B-side a very little bit) and a mark on the final track but it played essentially as perfect as the A-side. These visual issues are driving the excellent rating but all honesty even with the visual issues it probably is at least NM-. I am resisting every temptation to keep this album for my personal stash. 
The sleeve is scored as NM relative to a little bit of lift on the OBI where the shrink was slightly removed to open the album.  Beyond that this sleeve is perfect with only the slightest corner wear. It's even more perfect than the vinyl.
Single 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!
