Condition Report
- Overall Condition: Very Good (VG) to Very Good Plus (VG+)
- Vinyl Disc: Very Good Plus (VG+). The vinyl retains a beautiful, deep glossy mirror finish. Under close examination under light, it shows only very minor, faint paper hairlines that do not affect the music. The classic retro rainbow-rimmed Capitol center labels are incredibly crisp, centered, and free from spindle wear, ink marks, or aging.
- Sleeve / Jacket: Very Good (VG). The colorful picture sleeve features Peter Ashworth's iconic front-cover photography of Tina in denim and red heels. The back cover features the Private Dancer mini-art insert profile. The jacket shows typical light shelf wear, including slight creasing along the outer margins, minor corner rubbing, and minor edge wear. The spine and entry pocket are clean and structurally complete
