Description
The vinyl is graded as very good (VG). There are some shallow marks and hairlines which create some background noise in quieter parts of the record but nothing that overwhelms the music.
Matrix numbers:
Side 1: FL 81 4-11-58
Side 2: FL 82 3/21/59
The outer sleeve is graded VG. The front cover looks great. There's a 2-inch split in the middle of the bottom seam and a small split in the top seam with some significant wear on the top where other splits are close. The spine is nice and the text reads well, though there's a small split in the middle. The back cover has slight rub wear and some writing in pencil around the selections (see photo).
Please ask any questions before bidding.
I ship records in professional cardboard mailers sandwiched between stiffeners. I do combine shipping; see my other auctions. $4.99 media for the first LP and $1 for each LP thereafter. Double LP sets could as 2 LPs.

Very good (VG)
VG records can lack some of the original gloss found on factory-fresh records. Groove wear can be evident, as are light scratches. When played, a VG record has surface noise, and some scratches may be audible, especially in soft passages and during a song’s intro and ending. But the noise will not overpower the music otherwise.
VG covers will have many signs of human handling. Ring wear can possibly be obvious, though not overwhelming. Some more creases might be visible. Seam splitting could be more obvious; it may appear on all three sides, though it won’t be obvious upon looking. Someone might have written or it or stamped a price tag on it, too.
