Condition: VG+(+) (Vinyl and Labels)VG+(+) (Cover):
Vinyl has a couple of extremely superficial marks combined with a touch of faint slkeeve wear - next to nothing - perfect labels. Vinyl is overall easily graded close to near perfect/excellent.
Cover has a very close to perfect front and back with almost no wear or creasing - seams are solid with hints of opening edge rubbing - spine has a light upper corner dent and corners are otherwise close to perfect with only a touch of wear - all very marginal defects adding up to a very nice close to near perfect/excellent grading.
