Cover is in very good condition, no writing, no seam splits and only very light edge wear from normal handling with no signs of the front lamination bubbling or lifting.
New inner plastic sleeve
Vinyl is in very good condition, visually examined using a bright white halogen light source and I can see NO significant marks or scratches on either side. Just looking at your vinyl is not really a good way to judge the condition so I played the ENTIRE album, every single track, and there are absolutely NO issues with surface noise or clicks/pops.
New outer protective sleeve
