Vinyl has the generic red company labels with upper large fonted company name and half album logo - machine stamped matrix info includes 'P71' and '710' which verifies that the vinyl is copyrighted in 1971 in Norway. Vinyl comes complete with labels printed in Germany and laminated picture cover printed by 'Team Trykk' in Oslo. This is the Scandinavian distributed issue.

Condition: VG++ (Vinyls and Labels)/VG+(+) (Cover):
Vinyl is in an amazing comdition - superlustrous vinyl has allmost no wear - hints of a couple of sleeve marks only - nothing even remotely caused by a needle. Labels are clean perfect.
Picture cover is very nice - without any damage to front nor back - a single mid-upper wrinkle crease transcending from back through spine to front - light corners denting which is a lmarginal at bottom and clearly defined at top - the upper spine dent has caused a small area of bacl laminate lift - overall a more than decent cover - at least graded close to near perfect/excellent.
