Condition: VG/NM- ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for partly worn corners, spine & lightly other outer edges. It’s lightly scraped on the surface of front & back, while slight ring-wear and a light scratch line are on the back. It’s also lightly stained with minor brown spots inside gate-fold and white portion of back side ( See photo ). Otherwise it has no tear, dent, strip & writing…OK.

DISC: Disc is nearly TOP in condition, keeping glossy. There’re a few spindle-marks with minor spots on each label. Otherwise it has none of any scuff, scratch & hairline, which can be rated as "NM". No flaw on the groove…very clean disc, we guarantee you.

OBI: G+, being lightly creased along the right-rim of front, while being partly torn in the right top & bottom edges. Back surface is slightly stained with minor spots. A supply-tag is still in the bottom of back side.

INSERT: VG, being slightly tanned with some minor brown spots on the surface of each side.
