COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for partly worn corners & spine-edge. It’s slightly scraped with slight ring-wear on the surface of back side. A few minor spots are on the top-rim inside gate-fold. Otherwise it has no tear, dent, strip & writing...OK.
DISC: Disc is good in condition, keeping glossy. It has scuff marks in part on Side A-3~4 and a tiny one on Side B-4. A scratch is on Side A-1 & B-1 ( inaudible each ). There are several spindle-marks on each label. Scuffs are also on the inner groove ( not music surface ). Otherwise it has none of any hairline, which is to be rated as "VG". Flaws are not many but just some on the music surface of Side A and a few on Side B.
