KISS The Elder.

LP is visually graded as a solid VG+. Shiny and glossy with a few light surface marks and fingerprints. 

Original printed poly inner sleeve included.

Outer gatefold sleeve is graded on the low VG+ end with Light surface, corner, and edge wear. Some small tape marks. Some small holes that look like tack marks from being hung on a wall possibly. No seam splits, no water damage, no ink marks, and no cutouts.

Amazing copy overall.

We use Goldmine's grading scale for reference as follows:

VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) or EXCELLENT (E)

A good description of a VG+ record is “except for a couple minor things, this would be Near Mint.” Most collectors, especially those who want to play their records, will be happy with a VG+ record, especially if it toward the high end of the grade (sometimes called VG++ or E+).

VG+ records may show some slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK. Minor signs of handling are OK, too, such as telltale marks around the center hole, but repeated playing has not misshapen the hole. There may be some very light ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable.

VG+ covers should have only minor wear. A VG+ cover might have some very minor seam wear or a split (less than one inch long) at the bottom, the most vulnerable location. Also, a VG+ cover may have some defacing, such as a cut-out marking. Covers with cut-out markings can never be considered Near Mint.
