• Vinyl Record: Very Good Plus (VG+). The vinyl displays an excellent, deep mirror gloss with only a tiny handful of faint cosmetic paper storage wisps visible when held under strong light. Spindle trails around the center hole are very minimal, and the audio tracks run exceptionally cleanly with excellent presence.
• Labels: Excellent. The custom blue and white paper labels remain remarkably bright and clean with zero writing, rubbing, or fading.
• Picture Sleeve: Very Good Plus (VG+). The original paper picture sleeve remains crisp and firm with excellent structural integrity along the edges. Displays only minor handling traces, a minor hint of storage creasing near the bottom, and slight corner softening, looking very sharp overall.
