This record is from my private collection and has been treated with care. No scratches and no fingerprints. The only defect I can find is a small cut across the upper spine of the cover. This means that I must have bought this from the back of the store in the discount rack. The vinyl appears mint to me. The record has been stored in a static free sleeve since I bought it. The record will be packed in a rigid cardboard LP mailer and shipped via USPS Media Mail.
