Description: Vinyl was play tested through Focal Elegia's and it played as EX+ on the A-side and NM- on the B-side, numerically a 93 and 94 respectively. This was relative to very very light occasional surface noise on A2 with even less on A3 along with what sounded like a missed dust fleck on B1 (I have another copy of the vinyl that played almost the very same way). Visually, it is as close to NM- as can be however coupled with the A-side play the vinyl is being scored as EX. The sleeve is scored as NM showing only very light corner wear, most noticeably a 6mm pinch crease on the bottom right corner. The shrink is in place and I confirmed on Discogs that this is from the very first pressing in Japan of which these 150,000 (that's on the top left of the OBI) had a calendar. The Hype sticker on the shrink is related to a Billy Joel T-shirt. The inserts shows only light wear. I saw no issues with the calendar (although it is only for months and not the full year). Beyond that there were no issues. Album will be mailed in a cardboard mailer between cardboard with bubble wrap. If you have any questions please let me know and thanks for looking!
