CONDITION:
The gradations of condition I use are as follows: MINT, Near-Mint, Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair, Poor.
The condition of the still-sealed LP is EXCELLENT+. Although truly still-sealed, there is some bumping. Otherwise, the album appears as new. Overall, this rates as an excellent collector's copy.
The condition of the LP is MINT. This is a prisinte, still-sealed LP – the ideal collector's copy.
