Condition & Grading

Graded conservatively using standard Goldmine parameters:

• Record Condition: Near Mint (NM / M-)

  The neon orange vinyl is pristine, retaining radiant factory gloss and delivering clean, quiet playback. Dave Fridmann's multi-layered analog mix handles the heavy synthesizer basslines, explosive drum transients, and fuzz-drenched guitars with massive headroom and zero inner-groove distortion.

• Sleeve Condition: Near Mint (NM / M-)

  The outer jacket is crisp, sharp, and structurally solid. Shows razor-sharp corners, strong edges, vibrant cover art, and fully intact seams with no splits, creases, or handling wear.
