THIS COPY is a 1st pressing from 1982 on the Subterranean Records label (see Notes, below).
The vinyl, per a test listen, is in Excellent [EX] condition. Note that there is a small red mark (possibly felt tip marker?) on the label on one side; this can be seen in the photo.
The original cover shows some light signs of handling and has light to medium ring wear. Overall, the cover is in Very Good Plus [VG+] condition. Note that the front and back are identical and the inside cover is white (both as described in the notes).
The original inner sleeve, which has square corners and a center label hole, and which seems to be lightly waxy, has only one small split in the bottom seam. It is in Very Good Plus [VG+] or better condition.
The original lyric sheet is in Excellent [EX] condition.
