CONDITION Details:

LP JACKET:

• The LP jacket is in Very Good plus condition.

• These early DGG jackets were usually made of flimsy paper. As such, over time, they wear easily, especially if handled to any extent. Although this is of the flimsy paper variety, the jacket seams are almost completely intact - top and bottom are fine, but the spine is a bit weaker and has the start of a split. There is some shelf wear evident, primarily with respect to the seams and corners. Not a pristine cover, but very nice nonetheless.  

• It has NO drill holes or saw marks of any kind on the jacket. 
  

• There is someone's initial hand written in red on the front of the jacket, top, right corner. Back of the jacket has no hand writing. The jacket has a bit of color foxing evident due to age.

• The cover has clean and sharp colors - see picture with this listing for more detail. 

• The LP is in near MINT minus condition! - it is super heavy and in great condition.
  

• It retains much of the original gloss and sheen!
  

• The record has no serious marks, obviously well taken care of - just a couple of light marks that we did not affect the playing and enjoyment of the record in any way on our audio gear. This LP may have a slight mark or two (spider marks) which are caused by sliding the LP in and out of the inner sleeve and are usually not audible on most audio systems - as for any record, we recommend a cleaning before playing!

• There are NO significant spindle marks on the record labels that we could see, just a couple of light ones.
  

• This is the near mint copy you have always wanted in your collection - any picky audiophile should be happy with this one! A better copy would be very difficult to locate!
  

• This LP may have a slight mark or two (spider marks) which are caused by sliding the LP in and out of the inner sleeve and are usually not audible on most audio systems - as for any record, we recommend a cleaning before playing!
