Black label RCA US issue, all analog.  Sounds very close to a tan label US promo.  Owned from new, handled carefully, played infrequently on audiophile equipment, and VPI cleaned.
Cover grades NM, with unworn attractive finish, no ringwear.  It's not perfect--there is minor wear to corners as seen in photos.  But it's in nice shape.
Record grades NM with just some superficial sleeve removal hairlines visible only in bright light at an angle.  I use very bright, point source light to grade, the only way to see what's really on your LP.
Record play grades VG+.  I play grade on very revealing equipment and I am brutally honest and strict after 30 years collecting vinyl.  There are a few spots of crackle or tics--none associated with any marks.  Unfortunately, this is typical of RCA pressings in this era.  It's similar to what you'd expect with a brand new record pressed at United or Rainbo today, which often play VG+ fresh out of the sleeve.
Will ship in mailer with corner protection.
