Seller's note: NEVER PLAYED: I marked this LP as used, only because its age that makes it wrong to mark it as new, To my best recollection the LP had never been played. Presently, I have no means other than visual to verify the LP condition. It appears to have no scratches, marks, lint, dust or dirt accumulation, etc., and again, I don't believe it was ever played. On the LP labels there are no traces of this LP being put on a turntable. The sleeve might have some minor signs of shelf storage and aging. Please see the high resolution scans (which are part of the description) to judge this item condition. Please ask me any questions you might have before placing your bids, as I would like to make this transaction happy for both of us and to avoid returns.

Please also be aware that this LP was produced without being shrink-wrapped in plastic, so it appear to be "open" - this is the way it come from the press. Please also know that some LP's that I sell might have hand-made marks next to the printed price to indicate the state price changes.

This LP was bought in 1990's and stored in an LP storage box till now, in a cold dry storage environment.

The LP has never been played, its quality is as it comes from the manufacturer. There are no traces of this LP being ever put on a turntable around the hole in the "apples". I don't believe this LP was ever taken from its inner protector. Pictures of "apples" are taken through inner protector to avoid taking the LP out.

Please also be aware that Russian records were never produced shrink-wrapped in plastic, so they all appear to be "open" - this is the way they came from the factories.

I would grade the sleeve M- but please judge by yourself - high resolution images of every corner of front and back and "apples" of the actual record being sold in this lot are provided for your comfort of grading. Inner LP protector, if made of paper, might have slightly yellowed over years.

Please ask me if you have any questions or want additional pictures as I would want to avoid the hassles of exchanges or returns for you and me.
