HI IVE JUST TOOK ANOTHER LOOK AT THE VINYL AND THERE ARE A FEW MORE VERY LIGHT MARKS THAN I HAD PREVIOUSLY NOTICED THERE TRULY ISNT ANYTHING REALLY BAD. BUT I LIKE TO TRY AND GIVE AN HONEST DESCRIPTION ESPECIALLY WITH VERY RARE RECORDS I HAD GRADED THE VINYL A STRONG EX+ I WANT TO CHANGE THE GRADING VERY SLIGHTLY TO VG+++/EX THIS REALLY IS A MASSIVE RARETY AND I THINK IT WOULD BE UNFAIR IF I DIDNT GET THE CONDITION AS ACCURATE AS POSSIBLE.
