For a 50+ year old LP, this is a fairly decent copy.

I recently played this LP and it SOUNDS GREAT!
The vinyl is in good condition, but has some visual surface marks that will cause surface noise and pops or clicks along the way typical with a Good grading. Even with a GOOD grading there is going to be a certain amount of surface noise. More noticeable during the quiet parts.
PLAY TESTED! Plays all the way through without skipping, but you WILL hear surface noise.
Nice fairly clean Elektra Butterfly labels with some spindle marks. The labels are in Good condition.
The custom inner sleeve is in Good condition but has a large sized split seam with a small tear at the bottom, a small to medium split on one side, and a small split on the other side. The is a small split seam on both sides stemming from the top opening downward. Also has some ring wear, small tears and crumples all of which are typical with age. The LP is now being housed in a plain white inner sleeve.
The cover is in Good condition with typical wear from age, including, but not limited to dings, scrapes, ring wear, and creases all of which are typical with this very delicate cover. There is some fraying around the window and the side opening. There are no split seams, punch holes, cut outs, clips, stamps, writing on it etc.
This is a very delicate cover and typically does not age well, but this one is in pretty good shape.
I obtained this LP in the mid 1970s. It was played many times back in the day. Not played in over 30 years.
I am thinning out my vinyl collection. This is the actual item you will receive. See the photos and judge for yourself.
