This is an original recording not a remaster. This is variant 4 of the 1st pressing defined by Discogs.

RECORD GRADING:
Vinyl:  VG+
Cover: VG+
Definitions:

Mint (M) This is the top grade and is in pristine condition with no marks. A Mint cover will show no signs of wear.

Near Mint (NM) is slightly below the Mint grade with only one or two imperfections but generally flawless.

Excellent (EX) Record may have a few light scuff marks and/or very light scratches. These blemishes will only be viewable under a bright light. Generally will play through like a NM with little to no surface noise. Cover may have storage wear, tiny age spots, or creasing, nothing distracting or major.

Very Good + (VG+) Visible scuffing or surface wear may be present, but not deep enough to affect play. VG+ records may have slight surface noise, but only noticeable in quiet passages of music (at beginning of record or between tracks.) This slight surface noise should not overwhelm the music experience otherwise. Covers in this grade may have ring and / or edge wear, creases, or general shelf wear.

Very Good (VG) Vinyl will display many hairline scuffs or scratches, but will play with a tolerable amount of noise. A reasonable play copy but clearly used. Cover may have splits and heavy wear, writing or stains, and possible tears or creases.

Very Good - (VG-) Vinyl will display more visible scuffs or scratches, but will play through with an amount of noise. Clearly quite used. Cover may have Tears splits and heavy wear, writing or stains, and possible tears or creases. We very rarely list records in this grade.

RETURNS
While I do accept returns for any reason provided buyer pays return postage, the high cost of shipping returns means that this is not always a viable option.
