There is wear along the lip of the jacket (see pictures). Front of the jacket retains bright coloring and a nice gloss. Back of jacket has a couple of small spots of discoloration (see pictures). There is an original price sticker on the back top left corner, Back of jacket has the "West 50th Street, New York 19" address printed at bottom. This does come with an old paper sleeve that has discolored with age - don't know if this is original interior sleeve, as it is plain, but the LP is placed in a new plastic lined plain white sleeve for extra protection.
