Provenance/Authenticity: Authentication includes a Roger Epperson (REAL) Letter of Authenticity.
Condition: The vinyl record is in very good condition, showing careful handling with a clean playing surface. The sleeve is also graded as very good, exhibiting common signs of wear and aging typical of a thirty-year-old release, including minor ring wear. These marks are confined to the jacket's finish and do not interfere with the presentation of the signatures, making it an excellent candidate for archival display.
