The gatefold cover is in GOOD+ condition, but has typical wear from age, including, but not limited to corner dings, creases, scrapes, and ring wear. There is a peeling spot on the spine with a small split seam.   

This cover typically does not age well but this one is in Good+ shape. 

The vinyl is in Very Good condition with many visual surface marks that will cause surface noise typical with a Very Good grading. Even with a Very Good grading there is a going to be a certain amount of surface noise. More noticible during the quiet parts.  

I recently played this LP and it SOUNDS GREAT, especially cranked up. But you will hear surface noise typical with a Very Good grading. 

Nice, fairly clean labels with some spindle marks.

The original booket is complete and is in Good+ condition, but has wear typical with age including, but not limited to corner dings, crumples, and creases. There are some dark stains of an unknown origin on the centerfold pages only. 

I am thinning out my vinyl collection. My loss is your gain! This is the actual item you will receive. See the photos and judge for yourself.
