I have rated the condition of the LP (vinyl) and the inner / outer sleeve as Very Good + (VG+). The vinyl has probably not been played since (if i remember) the mid 1980s and apart from slight dust / one or two slight marks is in great condition. The LP has been stored in a dry space in a plastic LP cover which has protected the outer sleeve which along with the inner sleeve has only minimal age wear mostly on the corner edge's. Please see the attached pictures which try to convey the overall condition of the LP.
