Condition: VG+ (Vinyl and Labels)/VG+ (Cover):
Vinyl is as such bright and shiny - has few light, fine and inaudible hairlines paired with light sleeve wear.
Labels has in the area of a handfull superficial and simple spindletraces... looks like an album played a few times and handled without too much care. Labels are graded near mint - vinyl is overall straight VG+.
Picture cover has only more marginal imperfections - an occasional wrinkle from edges a little rubbing to seams and and corners... a couple of tiny teats - a solid VG+ cover without any major flaws.
