47 West 63rd on label, 43 West 61st on jacket
Heavy vinyl with grooved label.

Vinyl: EX
Very clean with both sides showing outstanding gloss. No scratches or hairlines. One short and slight surface sleeve rub, side one, track two. There are a few faint traces of water spotting scattered on both sides that only become apparent under strong grading light. The owner took very good care of his collection.
Labels: EX
A few very faint spindle marks that appear on extreme tilt but otherwise pristine. The photos couldn't pick them up.
Jacket: NM
I can find no faults. Crisp and strong with no splits or weakness. No shelf wear, ring wear, spots, scratches, nicks, etc. The laminated jacket looks very fresh with bright whites.
I'll be shipping double boxed with a new white LP mailer with extra cardboard, appropriate padding for the thickness of the record and packed tight on the interior. The vinyl will be outside the sleeve and inside a new audiophile approved outer sleeve.
Look for my other items from this same collection this week. They are all as outstanding as this one.
I grade records visually. I no longer have a vinyl rig so I do not pay them before hand. If it is from my original collection and I have played it before, I will note my recollections.
International bidders are welcome.
