Vinyl is bright and shiny - has been used directly from the paper inner sleeve and has as such a light degree of fine, light and far from audible sleeve wear - paired with a couple of inaudible and very light surface scuffs or lines - graded close to near mint and plays great.

Labels have in the area of a handful slightly scattered spindletraces - all superficial and only visible when vinyl is held in the right angle under a light source. There is just a little wear to center-hole edges. Labels are graded close to near mint.

Cover has a light wear and some degree of superficial creasing to the cover surface - only a couple of creases goes slightly underneath the surface.
Cover has a ca 2 cm rip from upper mid opening and a little rubbing to opening edges.
Top seam and spine are nice - lower seam has a 3 - 4" nicely repaired split against opening - corners are nice with from almost none to marginal denting or rubbing?
