Hi! You're looking at a SUPERB overall condition Vinyl 2 LP Set with the "Something's Extra" bonus single and deluxe booklet which is a very early 1976 Tamla Records album (NOT a Record Club Edition) and a classic album set by STEVIE WONDER titled "Songs in the Key of Life"--the album features many of Stevie Wonder's finest songs, including "Isn't She Lovely," "I Wish," "Pastime Paradise" (the basis for the song "Gangsta Paradise" by Coolio), "Sir Duke," "As," and many others. The LP is a Tamla Records issue with the serial number T13-34062 and a 1976 issue made in The United States.
This 2 LP, Bonus 7" single Set is in SUPERB condition and the vinyl is in NEAR MINT condition on record one (sides 1 & 4) and should play beautifully with NO significant imperfections, and NEAR MINT- on record two (sides 2 & 3) with a few light scuffs on the first two tracks of side two which HAVE been soundchecked and do NOT affect play, and no other significant flaws; the Bonus Single is in VG++ condition with a slight pressing bubble on side two which should not affect play and some light scuffs on the surfaces that should not significantly affect play. The deluxe gatefold cover is also in NEAR MINT- condition with very light ringwear on the surfaces, a few slight creases on the edges and light shelfwear but NO other significant flaws--it's NOT a cutout and has a die-cut slot on the front inner gatefold for the bonus single. The book is in beautiful and virtually FLAWLESS shape, and the original plain white inner sleeves are also included.

Very Good Plus (VG+) A record that has had a number of plays and may have some superficial scuffs, possibly mild to moderate spindle marks and / or possibly hairline scratches on the vinyl, which may produce some intermittent pops and possibly very light background noise.
Very Good (VG) A record that has generally been well cared for, but has seen a fair amount of play, with some scuffing. hairline scratches, spindle marks and / or light scratches. Should play through well, with the possibility of more pops and more background noise.
Very Good Minus (VG-) A record with significant scuffs, scratches, and spindle marks that should play through with moderate pops and surface noise, possibly of some duration.
Good (G) A record with will play through, but with significant pops, substantial background noise, and possibly intermittent skipping.
Poor (P) A record with MAJOR issues that will interfere with play, and will possibly be unplayable in part due to damage (I'll only offer an LP in this condition if it's an extreme rarity and / or for cover art display purposes).
