Record is in VG+ condition, only real issue is a laminate crack. Bought from a very reputable seller who guaranteed the quality of the product and listed it as VG+ in spite of the crack. I am unable to play test it so I cannot verify, so please be aware before you bid on this item. Regardless, it’s one of the most important recordings in American history and a first press nonetheless!
