Arista PROMO cover with Album Info Sticker on back. Vinyl plays nicely; a few light hairlines (play-graded). Cover looks good; a few creases near edges; light scuffing and surface impressions (front/back); name sticker on front near top right. Inner-sleeve is generic white. Spine has no text and mild-wear. Little shelf-wear along top/bottom-edge; minor wear to corners. Opening is crisp with signs of light use. (Not a cut-out.)
