Condition and Grading:

Vinyl; Overall; Strong VG+... Plays beautifully overall with some light surface noise at run-ins
that is predominantly well below the level of the music and/or in dead-wax between tracks...

Pigmentation flaws are observable in the vinyl in the form of 5-6 small, round, 'spots' that are
within the vinyl, not superficial, and do not affect play...

Observable sleeving marks and scuffs primarily on Side 1 play tested well and do not affect play...

Side 2 essentially the same and also with a very few very light 'ticks' that are not at all distracting...

Again, Not perfect, but a highly listenable and enjoyable copy of this rare recording...

Sleeve; Strong VG * Age discoloration is evident on the lighter edges of the laminated front cover and the die-cut "flip-back" extensions that wrap to the back cover to form the sleeve's top and  bottom seams... These seams have become unglued* which can easily be repaired...there is also a single tiny tear at the center of each of the scalloped-shaped flip-backs...  SEE PHOTOS.
