I gave the disc itself a VG+ rating, using the Goldmine Records grading system, though EX might be closer in fact; it is extra fine and the surface gloss is very good. The cover I gave a VG rating, it shows some wear around the edges, and there is an outline of the disc on the cover, likely from being stored on a shelf with other LPs.
Let me know if you have any questions, and be sure to examine the photos provided for further answers about condition. Thanks for considering this LP!
