Condition: M- (Vinyl)/VG++ (Labels)/VG+(+) (Cover):
Superlustrous and mint vinyl - labels has a single or two barely noticeable spindletraces - hence the near mint vinyl grading.

Cover is still in it's opened shrink wrapping - mint except for just 2 mm wear on upper seam edge and five ca 5 mm cut from opening - hence the overall close to near perfect/excellent cover grading.
