Vinyl Record grade: VG++, record is clean and glossy. Under normal light you might catch a faint hairline here or there, but nothing that affects play. It’s been play-tested all the way through, and the audio is crisp and strong — no skips, no pops. The surface still shows a mirror-like sheen, but tiny hairlines here and there are present. Not as good as Near Mint, not as poor as VG, but certainly a VG+ example that plays great.
Cover/Jacket grade: VG++, jacket shows light shelf wear, but still looks great overall—clean, intact, and fully functional. Cover retains strong visual appeal and remains a solid, presentable copy.
Other contents: includes original inner sleeve with lyrics
