Description

While this is a first edition the very first pressing in Japan came with a poster and the OBI is slightly different.

Vinyl was play tested through Focal Elegia's and it played as EX, cumulatively a 90 with the most noticeable issue being very light surface noise which was most noticeable between tracks with A4 playing more like an 88 and B2 having what sounded like a missed dust fleck/super light tick, B3 having maybe a dust fleck (I'm not sure I heard it) and B4 with another questionable fleck but playing more like an 86 (it is a quiet track and you can hear everything). Visually there are some light hairlines along with spindle wear in line with the play and based on this the vinyl is scored as EX.
The sleeve is scored as EX, numerically an 89 with the most significant issues being six light creases running in from the spine with the longest at 11mm, along with some color chipping on the pink spine. When looking at the same area from behind there are five creases with the longest at 13mm.  Keep the OBI in place and it's all good! There is very light corner wear. Along the opening seam there is a small indentation running 7mm and on the bottom seam a pair of dimples running 4mm and 3mm respectively.  Beyond that, at angles in super bright light there is a hint of ring wear in the 6 and 12 position. The inserts and OBI show only light wear.
Album will be mailed in a cardboard mailer between cardboard with bubble wrap.  If you have any questions please let me know and thanks for looking!
