Condition: 2xVG++ (Vinyl and labels)/VG+ (Cover):

Vinyls has a faint degree of sleeve wear only - far from needle induced, far from audible. Labels are likewise close to perfect and a light degree of spindlewear.

Cover has in general very light ringwear, a very few edge wrinkles and just a touch of superficial creasing - seams are intact ithout any wear - corners has very light denting - opening corners light rubbing. Upper left back cover has a handwritten name i green felt pen - this is overall a very nice copy even though that the cover is not for the very discerning collector, especially when you consider this covers extremely high potential for wear.
