• There is NO hand writing on the front or back of the jacket.
  

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

The LP (vinyl) itself:

• The LP is in NEAR MINT minus condition. - A finer copy of this vintage LP would be very hard to find.
  

  
  

  • The LP retains most of the original gloss and sheen!
    

  • The record has NO serious marks on it, obviously well taken care of.
    

  • The record labels have NO significant spindle marks on them.
    

  • This is the near mint copy you have always wanted in your collection - any super picky audiophile should be happy with this one!
    

  • 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, even brand new ones, for best results we recommend a thorough record cleaning before playing!

A Short Note About LP GRADING -

• Mint = Only used for sealed items.
• Near Mint = Virtually flawless in every way.
• Near Mint Minus = Item has some minor imperfections, some audible.
• Excellent = Item obviously played and enjoyed with some noise.
• Very Good Plus = Many more imperfections which are noticeable and obtrusive.

Some noise on vinyl is inevitable - for best results, always properly clean your LPs before playing them.  This LP is an audiophile quality pressing (any collector of fine MFSL, half speeds, direct to discs, Japanese/UK pressings etc., can attest to the difference a quality pressing can make to an audio system).

Don't let this rarity slip by!!!
