Structural & Visual Inspection

• Vinyl Surface & Labels Condition - EXCELLENT / NEAR MINT (EX / NM): Glossy black vinyl retains deep groove luster with crisp micro-groove definition, showing only faint, non-feelable hairline sleeve marks and minor surface dust flecks under angled macro inspection. Both Side A and Side B orange-and-brown GRT labels (9230-1068) remain bright, vibrant, and clean with sharp black typography, minimal spindle marks, and clean center holes.

• Jacket & Inner Sleeve Integrity - VERY GOOD PLUS / NEAR MINT (VG+ / NM): Original orange-bordered outer sleeve exhibits vivid sky-and-hand prism artwork on the front and crisp group photograph and session credits on the back, showing light edge/corner rubbing, mild top-edge wear, and a solid intact spine with no seam splits. Includes a clean Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab (MoFi) Original Master anti-static archival inner sleeve.
