The disc is VG++ and close to M- with a couple of tiny marks on the first track on side one and a couple of faint sleeve scuffs on side two.
A nice copy of an album that’s quite hard to find in good condition, as most copies have badly worn covers.

Allmusic.com gave A Night at the Opera a 5 star review:
Queen were straining at the boundaries of hard rock and heavy metal on Sheer Heart Attack, but they broke down all the barricades on A Night at the Opera, a self-consciously ridiculous and overblown hard rock masterpiece. …It’s prog rock with a sense of humor as well as dynamics, and Queen never bettered their approach anywhere else.
