THE VINYL -  EX+ :  Lightly played with minimal evidence of spindlewear, both of the LP surfaces retain all of their original gloss.

The flap itself is still firmly attached / there is a small check mark in ink by O divine Redeemer on the back cover, and what is likely the original price sticker in the top right corner / all of the seams, including the spine, are intact with minimal edgewear / no other writing, stains, paper loss or dirt.
