Besides the matte-sleeve edition there is a very similar variant with a glossy sleeve – this copy has the matte sleeve.

What does Media NM- / Sleeve VG+ mean?
NM- (Near Mint minus) means almost like new, with at most minimal traces. VG+ (Very Good Plus) means light signs of use that barely affect sound or appearance. See our Vinyl Grading guide.
