Columbia CG 33669 Ornette Coleman Science Fiction & Skies of America 1976 2xLP Reissue
On both discs the vinyl is clean and shiny with hardly any signs of use and handling.
Labels are clean and in great shape with no marks or writing.
The gatefold cover is in solid shape overall with cutout corner bottom left,some minor rubbing and a bit of edge wear.
I acquired this vintage album back in the 1980s.
A Picture is worth 1000 words so look at the images.
