Visually graded using Goldmine standards, the vinyl rates a near mint with beautiful shine and very light surface wear. The jacket is excellent with no splits, extremely light wear and minor creases, and three initial written neatly on the upper back cover that are hard to see. A beautiful copy of this hard to find original. DO NOT MISS OUT! Low starting bid and no reserve. Will be shipped in a sturdy record mailer with LP outside of the jacket within a protective plastic sleeve. Please see my other auctions for more rare vinyl.
