Comes complete with paper OBI-strip (see out pics for detail) - a superb example. The plastic outer shrink wrap is completely intact and has NO tearing - super rare to find a vintage LP like this still sealed! No way to tell what the matrix numbers are without opening the LP to examine the dead wax. See our pictures with this listing as they are of the actual item. Always clean your LPs for best results - even brand new, sealed items. This is an archival example of this rare item! A Short Note About LP GRADING - Mint {M} = Only used for sealed items. Near Mint {NM} = Virtually as new, just not sealed. Near Mint Minus {NM-} = Item has some minor imperfections, some audible. Excellent {EXC} = Item obviously played and enjoyed with some noise. Very Good Plus {VG+} = Many more imperfections which are noticeable and obtrusive. Always properly clean your LPs before playing them - even brand new, sealed titles! The LP is an audiophile quality pressing (any collector of fine MFSL, half speeds, direct to discs, Japanese/UK pressings etc., can attest to the difference a quality pressing can make to an audio system). Do not let this rarity slip by!
