I am foregoing my usual grading for this LP as it is a truly frustrating one to grade. So first the case, it can be seen in the pics that the corners have creases and bends, also a bit of light staining, but its held together well and the image is still nice overall. It could be worse. Now onto the LP itself. It has some issues with warping. Its not a typical heat warp. Its not at all melted or the warp isn't really deep and wavy in that way that makes the LP connect with the turntable's arm. This record was clearly not stored properly and the warping is more like several bends, straight lines at a few different spots that has led to slight but significant warping. I put the record on and listened start to finish and I noticed no affects at all of the warp to the overall sound quality. The whole record sounds great and that is the frustrating part. Visually the whole package, case and LP has some issues, but the audio on my turntable was superb. The record does not have any scratches, labels are perfect with no spindle marks and I am sure it has seen very little play overall. I don`t know if the record can be flattened a bit but on my turntable it was a surprisingly good listen as is with no problems at all. For me, it was a near perfect listen. The needle didn`t jump, no distortion or dragging, none of the weirdness that is associated with warping. This is a rare one to find in any condition, and I am selling it AS IS, but I think its a nice play copy. I think it would be a great filler copy as other original copies are too valuable to even play, so this is still an opportunity to get a copy of this rarity.  Feel free to ask any questions before bidding as I would anyone to have a complete picture of what they are buying. I don't want anyone to get this and then complain when they get it home that it's not the quality they wanted. If it skips or will not play on your player, consider yourself forewarned.

Please wait for invoice before paying. 

If you have any questions about condition or shipping, feel free to ask. I will not ship without tracking and insurance, so it can get pretty expensive to other countries. This is only to cover me, as I cannot be compensated without this feature if something were to happen. I cannot risk anything happening to this en route. If you are not agreeable to this, I cannot ship to you.
