I purchased this Steve Miller Band (Book of Dreams) picture disc brand new back in 1978. I've only take it out a couple of times to view it and it's been kept in a dust proof sleeve all this time. The packaging is in excellent condition.

I purchased  the Elton John  (A Single Man) the same year. It has a little cut out on the corner, that's what they used to do when they were discounting albums for sale. Otherwise it is been in its original packaging never removed and it is in excellent condition.
