This album is dated 1980. It is a 1982 reissue. It has been stored with my record collection tightly pressed between other records. LOOK CLOSELY AT PHOTOS. The album will be shipped in a sturdy reinforced cardboard mailer made specifically for shipping vinyl LP's and wrapped in bubble wrap. The vinyl will be outside album cover to avoid ripping of album cover. 

I just recently played entire album. The album plays well with minimal to almost no surface noise. NO SKIPS OR POPS. The album packaging shows some minor wear; the back cover has a small tear at the top edge towards the left corner; the back cover has a rub line at top edge with a faint smudge below the rub line; otherwise nearly flawless. The vinyl has some light dust.\; the vinyl has a warp on the turntable. Side one played through flawlessly with a needle weighted with a quarter. I play my records on a cheap turntable to check for skips and surface noise and sometimes have to weight the needle for the record to play without skipping. The records were originally played on an expensive sound system.  Side two played through flawlessly without the weighted needle. The album was played on 5/19/2024. LOOK CLOSELY AT PHOTOS
