Condition: G+/EX/EX ( Cover / Disc 1/2 )


COVER: Cover is partly worn on corners & outer-edges. It’s partly scraped in the middle of front ( See photo ). Ring-wear is in part on the top & bottom rims inside gate-fold. A vertical light scratch is along the left-rim of back side. Otherwise it has no tear, dent, strip, stain & writing...OK.

DISC 1/2: Both discs are excellent in condition, keeping glossy. It’s slightly discolored in part on the surface of Side A of Disc 1 and Side B of Disc 2. They don’t affect its sound. Each disc has a few spindle-marks on the label of Side B. Otherwise each disc has none of any scuff, scratch & hairline, which is to be rated as “EX". Both discs sound fine on each side.
