Condition: VG++ (Vinyl and Labels)/VG++ (Cover):
Vinyl is beautifully lustrous - hardly any signs of play or handling except for a touch of sleeve only inflicted wear.
Labels are equally nice - a couple of faint, superficial and simply spindletraces to Side 2 label, Side 1 label is mint.

Cover has a touch of wear along parts of front vinyl outline and a few light and small wrinkles from edges - three 2 - 3"'s long top right back creases lowers the grading from near mint to straight VG+.
Seams are superb - corners has a touch of rubbing only - a very slight dent to top opening corner.
