This rare Japanese edition of 'Greatest Hits' is in excellent condition.  The vinyl looks stunning under a bright light and I cannot detect any hairlines at all.  Having play tested the LP I can confirm that the audio is of superb quality also.  

'Bohemian Rhapsody' plays with no lead in static at all and plays practically like new.  The remainder of the side has the same quality with just a little static but is barely audible.  Of course being the Japanese release it has 'Teo Torriate' in place of 'Bicycle Race' and this particular track plays with stunning quality and without the distortion that is often prevalent on the 'A Day At The Races' LP.  Overall the audio is absolutely stunning on both sides and you would be hard pressed to find a better copy than this one.  Probably the best audio I have heard of this classic LP :-) 

For its age the cover is in excellent condition with only minor wear.  The edges have hardly any shelf wear - there are just a few small creases next to the spine and some rubbing on the top and bottom opening corner.  There is a crease mark on the bottom left reverse side also.  Overall a very clean cover with only superficial wear.  The opening edge is very clean with only mild handling wear.  The attached Obi is in excellent condition with just a small tear at the top but is still attached to the cover.

Also included is the 8 page booklet (LP size) with lyrics in Japanese and English.  A rare item in itself and is in near perfect condition.

 The record inner is in excellent condition with just one very small split at the bottom.
