Frank Sinatra My Way 12" Black Vinyl LP 1973 Rise Japan Obi Quadraphonic Vintage

Used

Black vinyl LP grades visually around Very Good Plus (VG+) with strong gloss and scattered light sleeve scuffs, faint hairline surface marks, and small handling streaks on both sides plus minor dust specks that would benefit from a gentle cleaning before play; no deep scratches, warps, cracks, or edge chips are seen and the yellow Rise center labels are clean and fully legible with light spindle wear and no writing or added stickers. Single-pocket cardboard jacket with attached Japanese CD-4 obi strip grades visually around Very Good (VG) with a light ring-wear impression beginning to form on the front, overall age toning and numerous small brown foxing spots to the white back cover and obi, and moderate corner and edge wear including tiny paper nicks at the upper corners but no seam splits or large creases, while the spine printing remains readable and panels lie flat.
