Glossy cardboard picture sleeve with upper opening has shelfwear & tiny creases at corners,very light shelfwear along edges,a small sticker mark upper left corner on sleeve front,creases on upper areas near opening edges,small ding mark midway along lower edge & light scuffs/marks. Overall is in G+ condition for age & fragility with no edge splits or writing.
Labels have light wear & spindle trails around spindle holes & some small scuffs/marks (see photos).
Vinyl has very good lustre-has light paperscuffs/hairlines & marks but plays through very well with just some very light surface noise,clicks & pops-plays better than it looks & sounds great when played with very bright sound!
I grade all vinyl (except still sealed) both by sight and play them through on both A & B sides.
All photos of vinyl are taken with a flash so any imperfections are highlighted.
