This is the highest quality pressing of the Buena Vista Social Club record available; 200-gram, audiophile-quality vinyl. I was lucky enough to buy one of the last copies from the label and have treated it with care ever since. I played it perhaps a dozen times and otherwise kept the vinyl in the original plastic-lined archival inner sleeves, and stored the whole package in a clear outer sleeve. There are two shallow scratches on sides A and B that have minimal effect on play quality. Sides C and D are near perfect. The sleeve has about an inch of separation along the top seam at the openings for both records, and a faint vinyl impression on the rear panel--generally in very nice condition.
