First pressing with 1841 Broadway New York, N.Y. address on the labels.
The Vinyl is in Good condition, but has surface marks that will cause surface noise typical with a Good grading. Even with a Good grading there is going to be a certain amount of surface noise. Certainly more noticeable during the quiet parts.
The gatefold cover is in Good condition with typical wear from age, including, but not limited to corner dings, scrapes, dings, fading and ring wear all of which are typical. There is the typical seam separation at the top stemming from the side opening. There is some fading along the seams and along the spine that is typical with a gatefold cover. And there is some staining of an unknown origin.
This cover typically doesn't age well, but this one is in decent shape.
The labels have spindle marks and some fading.
The LP is being housed in a plain white inner sleeve.
I obtained this LP in the 1970's. It was played many times back in the day. It has not been played in over 30 years.
