    • Condition of record is a real nice VG++/EX with just a couple of small surface marks which cannot be felt and do not affect play and some light sleeve marks which are not the result of use and also have no effect on play.  Condition of cover is also a high VG++ with the original factory shrinlwrap torn in a couple of spots but still surrounding the cover, and with just a little wear on the corners.  There are a very few very tiny mildew spots under the shrinkwrap on the back cover.  Arista Records stock inner sleeve has a couple of tears extending down from its center hole which I have repaired with clear tape and a very few very slight wrinkles.

    This LP would be a nice addition to any Patti Smith or early punk / art rock record collection!
