This is a rare, highly coveted Japanese King Records release. The record grading is Excellent (EX). Plays beautifully with virtually no background noise. Visually, it’s extremely clean with no visible marks. The outer case is also Excellent (EX). The front cover is smooth & vibrant with very minor ring wear. The back cover is extremely clean with barely a hint of wear. The spine & top seam are EX with no wear nor splits. The bottom seam has a tight 2” split that resembles more of a ding than anything. The original insert is included. (all reflected in the photos) All sales final.
