Vinyl is housed in a full colour illustrated lyric inner sleeve - ultimately in a glossy picture cover.

Condition: VG+(+) (Vinyl)/M- (Labels)/VG+(+) (Inner Sleeve)/VG+(+) (Cover):

Vinyl is bright and shiny - has a single inaudible surface lines combines with ultralight, fine and thin sleeve inflicted wear. Labels does not display any signs of play or handling - not an album listed to frequently - probably just a very few times, without too much care for handling.

Inner sleeve is slightly oversized compared to the comver and has subsequently a little waving... does not look like is has been in and out of the cover often - intact and straight seems, pointy corners, hardly any wrinkling etc. - graded close to near mint.

The only features distrurbing front and back cover centers are a little wrinkle on both sides from top - imperfections are otherwise only found in the near-seam areas: a thin top-front crease, light wrinkling in corner areas from minor corner dents - a single slightly more manifest lower spine corner dent.

Seams are straight and intact, spine perfectly readable and only distuirbed by a lower spine dent. Opening has a little denting and/or rubbing - all in all a very nice cover which has a series of more marginal imperfections - graded close to near mint/excellent.
