VINYL IS VG+.  A HANDFUL OF TINY MARKS — A SCUFF AND A  COUPLE OF HAIRLINES — ON ONE SIDE. PLAY TESTED ON MY HIGH-END SYSTEM AND IT SOUNDS FABULOUS… TRULY. CLEANED WITH A VPI 16.5. 

JACKET IS A HANDSOME VG+ COPY AND WOULD BE EX SAVE FOR THESE COUPLE OF FLAWS: A TINY (⅝”) HORIZONTAL TEAR AT THE OPENING END (SEE PHOTO) AND THE ORIGINAL PRICE STICKER IN THE UPPER RIGHT HAND BACK COVER CORNER. SEAMS ARE STRONG, CORNERS LIGHTLY BUMPED, BUT CLARIFOIL IS STILL FULLY INTACT WITH NO CHIPPING OR PEELING. LIGHT WEAR AT THE OPENING END; RINGWEAR ALMOST INVISIBLE EXCEPT ON THE FLAPS. FLAPS STILL GLUED TIGHT. COLORS STILL VIBRANT AND BRIGHT. 

ALTOGETHER, AN ENVIABLE COPY! SOLID, TIGHT, ONLY MINOR ISSUES… NICE!
