Condition Report:
- Vinyl Record: Very Good Plus (VG+). The vinyl retains a beautiful high-gloss brilliance across both sides. Inspection shows a few incredibly fine, light surface hairline marks that do not affect audio fidelity or cause skips. Labels are pristine with no wear around the center hole.
- Picture Sleeve: Very Good Plus (VG+). The original 1985 paper picture sleeve is beautifully preserved with deep, solid blue tones. Shows only standard light ring wear, minimal edge feathering, and a small faint storage scuff to the upper left corner of the front cover. Completely free from unwanted handwriting, tears, or seam splits.
- Center Label & Seal: Unsealed as issued. The iconic black Virgin script center labels are clean, fully legible, and free from any bubbling or vintage markings.
