Condition: G/G+ ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is partly worn on corners, top, right-edge, bottom & lightly spine. A short tear is in the left top-rim of front ( See photo ). It’s lightly scraped with light ring-wear and a line of scrape on the surface of front & back. Inside gate-fold, it’s tanned around left-rim. “10” blue stamp is on the middle of top-rim inside gate-fold. Otherwise it has no dent, strip & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc has slight scuffs including slight hairlines here and there on each side. There are many spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any serious flaw ( such as deep scratch ), which is to be rated as “G+“. It plays strong in each side.

COMPANY INNER BAG: G, being creased on the surface of each side, while being partly torn in the top edge & corners and middle of bottom-edge.
