Purchased this EP in 1989. Was a Green River fan and following their breakup, got into their ‘offspring’ Mudhoney and Mother Love Bone, which was a precursor to Pearl Jam. Who cares about ancient grunge history? OK, here are the facts:
* Original owner * Vinyl is in very good condition * “Dead Wax” markings are: A2 (triangle shape) 422839 ON-1-AS-HRM (see photo 8) * Only flaw on EP is a very slight surface scratch mostly on song 4 on sided A. I listened to this with the volume cranked and only heard a faint pop or two; likely unnoticeable (see photo 9) * Album cover in good shape with a slight bend on the front near the O in Mother; it doesn’t go through to the back side  (see photos 10 & 11) * Super tiny indentation on bottom right corner (photo 12)
Not a vinyl expert, so don’t know how you would classify this. In my day, I would say this is in excellent condition - no pops or hissed when listening to it. I usually just listened to my albums once and recorded them on cassette tapes so as not to wear them out.
