Condition: EX/VG ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is excellent in condition, except for a few minor scratches on the middle of top-rim of front. A few minor creases are on the top & spine-rims. It’s clean in the back and totally front. Otherwise it has no tear, edge-wear, ring-wear, dent, strip, stain & writing…OK.

DISC: Disc is good in condition, keeping glossy. It has light scuff marks in part on Side B ( See photo ). Some slight scuffs are also in places on Side B and a tiny one on Side A-2. A minor scratch is on Side B-2 ( inaudible ). There’re a few spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any serious flaw ( such as deep scratch ), which is to be rated as "VG". It plays fine on each side.

OBI: EX

INSERT: VG, being lightly rippled with light ring-crease on the surface of each side.
