Condition: VG++ (Vinyl and Labels)/VG+(+) (cover):

Vinyl is overall bright and shiny - has next to no signs of play or handling - easily graded near mint.
Labels are nice - without major imperfections... only a light degree of spindlewear - less than a handful superficial and only slightly scattered ones... slightly more disperse on Side 2 label. Labels has no centerhole wear indicating that this album was used a few times but handled carefully.
Vinyl is overall graded near mint.

Cover is astonishing - considering the vast potential for wear that these early German covers have - as they are manufactured from thin cover cover stick with an only partially laminated surface. Cover has mild inevitable vinyloutline - but no wear along this... only the imprint of the vinyl and a couple of mild superficial creases. 
Cover has only a couple of marginal creases from spine and a single lighter thumbnail wrinkle along lower opening as well. Front and back cover centers are extremely nice with only the slightest signs of storage.
Seams are intact - spine is sublime and perfectly readable - opening edges has marginal rubbing  - top and bottom seams are perfect. Opening and top corners has only very marginal rubbing - lower spine corner has a likewise mild bend.

This is all in all a simply extremely attractive cover without any major imperfections - graded close to near perfect/excellent.
