~condition~
Shiny EX vinyl with a few superficial light scratches and some wear caused by sitting in the inner sleeve for so many years (mostly a cosmetic issue). Play tested and sounds beautiful! Cover is in EX condition- there is some light discoloration noticeable on the back cover (see pic). Beautiful strong legible spine and bright graphics. This is great example of this classic LP!
