Condition Report (Goldmine Grading Standard):
- Sleeve Condition: Good / Very Good (G/VG) – The original picture sleeve is fully intact but shows signs of its vintage age and natural handling wear. It features some ring wear, edge softening, and moderate surface creasing from storage over the decades. No heavy pen marks or major structural splits—an authentic, characterful vintage sleeve.
- Vinyl Condition: Very Good (VG) – The vinyl retains a strong gloss and is in clean playing condition. It displays light surface hairlines and minor paper scuffs that do not affect overall play. Expect a clear, high-quality audio experience with only light, periodic background dust crackle in quieter moments.
Note: This is an authentic, pre-owned vintage import record. We pack all vinyl carefully in reinforced, heavy-duty cardboard mailers to ensure both the sleeve and record arrive safely at your doorstep.
