Super High Definition Vinyl

VINYL is NEAR MINT
Gleaming Gloss Vinyl is immaculate, Like New. Labels are pristine both sides.
.
COVER is EX+ (VG++)
Super clean, crisp, tight and square with no wear, creases, soil or other marks. Slight 'wide mouth'* at opening from thick fold-over MOFI 'LP Protector' insert. otherwise NM. Edges straight, corners sharp; seams and spine 100% intact with no wear or splits.

*This effect, from the thick, stiff card MOFI 'LP Protector' insert is actually quite common with MOFI covers of the period (containing the LP Protector insert). It was a good idea and definitely adds extra support around vinyl, but can't help spreading the cover's opening edge a bit. Most sellers won't ever mention this, but I believe in full disclosure.
The effect lessens dramatically over time, by simply storing Vinyl and protector insert behind (outside of) cover, with your other shelved LPs.

___________________________________________________

From an utterly vast and deep record collection, from my life-long best friend..
who was a DJ at the Radio Station I co-founded in the 1970's - and who worked for me at my California record store in the '70s and '80s.
Sadly he has now finally left this mortal coil, bequeathing me his deep Vinyl Mine.
.
Several thousand records (mostly LP's, but also hundreds of 45's), several hundred collectible and Rare, Out of Print CDs and Box Sets,
plus posters and other memorabilia will all eventually be listed.

Truly a great (and enormous) collection!

Diligent collectors WILL be rewarded!
