This Item is in absolutely astounding shape and in true near mint condition.   I've been buying and selling records for over 20 years and understand fully what a near mint record should look like.  I also understand the difference between excellent and near mint:  This is Near Mint.  When I first found this record, I assumed it was a reissue because it looks so crisp. (I haven't graded this as mint because it is not sealed and has been played, I assume, even if perhaps only once!)
