Vinyl looks literally unplayed, no marks around the spindle even, nothing. I don't rate colored vinyl as NM as a rule, but if I did this would get that grade. jacket in strong shape, showing the start of some ring wear, and has a 2 inch long crease on the front (but it's faint enough to miss at first glance). great copy. value priced. ultrasoncially cleaned, mofi-style inner, ships in whiplash mailer.
