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

Vinyl: Close To Near Perfect/Excellent, VG+(+):
Vinyl is overall bright and shiny and has a very few light and fine scuffs or lines paired with a touch of sleeve wear - next to nothing - vinyl is overall graded close to near mint/excellent.

Labels: Near Perfect, VG++:
Labels has a very few - like two to three - light, simple and superficial spindletraces - barely visible on the Side 2 label and with absolutely no wear to centre hole itself.

Vinyl is overall conservatively graded close to near perfect/excellent.

Playgrading:
Vinyl plays great - straight and perfectly centered and with only a touch of noise in the soundless or quiet passages - otherwise just great fidelity - superb instrument differentiation, great dynamics and volume - no distortion what so ever. A play grading would be at least in the close to near mint/excellent... sounds more near mintish.

Cover: Close To Near Perfect/Excellent, VG+(+):
Cover has a light degree of edge laminate wrinkling - a single one along front opening.

Seams are solid except for a couple of mm's lower right seam crease. Seams are straight, spine clear and readable spine. Corners has just a touch of wear - next to nothing - all in all only very minor cover defects - cover is overall graded at least close to near perfect/excellent - a way above awerage and very decent copy.
