PLEASE REVIEW ALL PHOTOS AND READ THE ENTIRE ITEM DESCRIPTION CAREFULLY AS THERE IS A LOT TO DESCRIBE! 

I'M GETTING FED UP WITH BUYERS WHO DON'T READ THE DESCRIPTION OR VIEW THE PHOTOS, THEN WANT TO RETURN THE ITEM FOR SOMETHING THAT I NOTED AND PHOTOGRAPHED IN THE LISTING, BUT THEY DIDN'T SEE IT BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T READ THE DESCRIPTION OR VIEW THE PHOTOS. 

IF YOU ARE A STICKLER, THIS COPY IS NOT FOR YOU!  PLEASE READ ON!
The vinyl is in Very Good condition, but has visual surface marks that will cause surface noise typical with a Very Good grading. The surface marks do no adversely affect play.(see photos). If this is a concern for you or you don't agree with my grading, please do not buy it. 
The cover has wear that is typical with age, but also has a tear in the front cover stemming from the side opening that is approximately 2.5".  There is some staining of an unknown origin around the tear.(see photos).. If this is a concern for you or you don't agree with my grading, please do not buy it. 
Even with the tear in the front cover, I'm still grading this cover as Very Good, as it is structurally sound and has NO SPLIT SEAMS. If this is a concern for you or you don't agree with my grading, please do not buy it. 
If any of these issues are a concern for you, please do not buy it.

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

Nice fairly clean labels with some spindle marks.

The cover is in Very Good condition with typical wear from age, including, but not limited to corner dings, crumples, dings, fading, ,staining, peeling and ring wear all of which are typical. And the issues mentioned above.

This cover typically doesn't age well, but this one is in very good shape even with the tear on the front cover.

I obtained this LP in the 1970's. It was gently played back in the day. Not played in many years.

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