Out-of-print, classic single-layer SACD. The content is, needless to say, an immortal masterpiece. The sound quality as an SACD is also superb. Includes a vinyl outer sleeve that wraps the paper jacket. The vinyl outer sleeve has some scratches, but is generally clean. The paper jacket, obi, paper case for the disc, vinyl, and disc are all extremely clean. The disc is the type that is inserted into the paper jacket, so to prevent scratches, it was stored separately in a simple plastic case. I don't think you'll find a better condition used copy than this.
