The album is still sealed in its original packaging. It has never been opened, never been used, never been handled. The album sleeve is perfectly flat with no concern for bending or warping.

RECORD SLEEVE: NEAR MINT

As shown in the photographs, the only defect of this album’s cover is that the very tips of the four corners have been damaged; not in any substantial way that would risk the condition of the record inside, but just from being taken in and out of storage crates over the years. The album is still in its original plastic shrink-wrap from its initial release in 1974. There are two barely visible tiny breaks in the plastic seal (one in the top-left corner and the other in the bottom-right) and the most obvious one, which itself measures less than half of an inch, is visible along the plastic’s seam on top-right corner’s edge. Nowhere else on the album has the plastic seal been compromised.

Other than the corners I’ve described, there are no other imperfections that I can see after close scrutiny. The album is in impressive condition for its age. Notably, there are:

No cut-out (drill) holes No saw-marks, indents, or major creases No stickers or labels or tape marks  No wax residue or leftover glue residue No writing or markings or paint drops, etc No warping or water damage of any kind No discoloration from light damage or other environmental impacts

Please Note: Even if the lighting in some of the pictures makes it look like there might be a slight split in the plastic, I assure you that is only the optical effects of the light against/through the shrink-wrap. I’ve thoroughly scrutinized the outer plastic wrap and I indicated precisely where there are small breaks in the seal; there are none other than the three I have described in the description above.
