COVER: Cover is scraped in places with minor scratches & creases on the surface of front & back. Light ring-wear is on the back. Inside gate-fold, it’s stained with brown spots around its rims and center-fold ( See photos ). Otherwise it has no tear, edge-wear, dent, strip & writing…OK.

DISC: Disc is good in condition, keeping glossy. It has several slight scuffs on each side of “outer groove ( music surface )”. A scratch is on Side B-1~4 ( inaudible ). There’re some spindle-marks on the label. Otherwise it has none of any hairline, which is to be rated as "VG". Though there’re many scuff on each “inner groove”, it’s not music surface which has no relation with the sound.

OBI: VG, being lightly scraped and discolored on the surface of front. Minor brown spots are on the top & bottom rims of back side. A supply-tag is still in the top of back.

INSERT: INSERT was not originally issued for this album.
