+++ I purchased this at my local record shop in Atlanta in 1993. It has been kept in a poly sleeve and treasured for the last @28 years. It has been cleaned and you won't find a better copy... except for an SS or repress??? and these days, it's hit or miss with the new vinyl. Warped, off center, poorly pressed labels, etc.... / no spindle marks, HOWEVER - there are a few very light scuffs from pulling the LP in & out of the high quality paper sleeve. I've added 2 different angled pics to show the streak (which looks like a line). This is only seen in bright light. Can't feel it - don't hear it. Never knew it was there until I examined it for pictures and an accurate description. 

The cover (in my opinion) is Mint.... HOWEVER, NM is the grade I give. For example: the very tiny corner ding which shows you where the Vinyl and Cover were pressed. There are no seam tears or rips, no creases, no ring wear... its Beautiful! I have more pictures if needed. Twelve are the max for the listing. 
Usually ship LP inside cover unless buyer requests differently. In this case, I WILL ship LP outside of cover and make sure it cannot move during shipment. It will be firmly sandwiched between bubble wrap and cardboard stiffs..... Double Boxed, too.

General info:
Poly Sleeve included.
will be packed in a box that's very sturdy due to the carelessness of the postal system. 
***Please Note: any spots, glares or shadows are from my camera - pics are also part of the description. NO returns.                                                                

1st LP $4.00 shipping (Double LP counts as 2): each additional LP add $1.00 for shipping. (unless stated otherwise stated in listing)
Please let me know if you are bidding on more than one auction - I will send a combined shipping invoice.
Only U.S. bidders & buyers.
