Condition: VG/NM/NM ( Cover / Disc 1/2 )


COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for lightly worn corners & outer edges. It’s stained with minor spots on the surface of each side ( mainly outside…not conspicuous ). Otherwise it has no tear, ring-wear, dent, strip & writing...OK.

DISC 1/2: Both discs are nearly TOP in condition, keeping glossy. Each disc has a few spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise each disc has none of any scuff, scratch & hairline, which can be rated as “NM". No flaw on the groove of both… very clean discs, we guarantee you.
