Condition: VG+(+) (Vinyl and Labels)/VG+(+) (Cover):

Vinyl is bright and shiny - has a light degree of fine and extremely light sleeve inflicted scuffing - nice excellent vinyl bordering to near mint. Labels has a fine spiderweb of spindletraces placed in the immediate surroundings of center hole - an album played but not overly and cared for when so. Vinyl is overall graded close to near mint/excellent.

Cover is nice - has a few front laminate wrinkles from milder bends - from edges and a couple vertical ones as well - back is remarkable clean... a tiny top right spota slight lower right extention flip bend... seams are straight and intact, lower corners have just a little rubbing - top ones looks nice and pointy... overall a simple very nice upper VG+ cover.
