Record
EX+ A high Excellent example, on initial inspection I was thinking Near Mint purely because of how little marks there were, after scrutinisng and looking under strong light there were a few very light marks and minor signs of wear. Side One is pretty much Near Mint Minus, with barely any issues, minor inner sleeve removal marks but very attractive, Side Two follows a similar leve of grading a couple more very faint hairlines noticed but with two very small marks at the very strating edge, these are just feelable.

AUDIO GRADING
I decided to give this a play to give some kind of audio grade, this like many other records I aquired recently have been stored unplayed for many years so have attraced some dust. After i gave it a quick clean it became apparent that it was in vidual Excellent condition,  the first play through i noticed quite a bit of background noise generally, more apparent in quieter section, run ins and outs, after a few plays it became les and les of an issue. In my experience records that have been in storage from decades unplayed often go through this when player for the forst time in perhaps 40 years plus. It was a pleasent listen and any background noise was hugely masked by the business of the track, Side One is a live track also so it was hard to tell if any surface noise was actual just noise from the live recording, from the desk. On the whole Excellent with some low level static minor surface noise noticed in places, run ins and outs , that will minimise further with playing and a good pro clean.

Side Two is the side with the two small marks, mercifully thes are tiny and as a result you can hear a tick twice on the rotation for about 20 seconds, the audio does mask it qute well but at time in this first 20 seconds you can just make it out. On the whole Excellent with some low level static minor surface noise noticed in places mainly in quiter passages run ins and outs. This will minimise further with playing and a good pro clean.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS RECORD IS FROM A COLLECTION OF ROCK N ROLL ALBUMS/SINGLES THAT I HAVE RECIEVED, THAT ARE, FOR THE MOST PART IN FANTSTIC CONDITION. THESE HAVENT BEEN PLAYED FOR DECADES ,AND ON A LOT OF OCCASIONS THESE WILL VISUALLY GRADE WELL EX AND BETTER, AND WILL PLAY VERY WELL, WITH SOME SURFACE NOISE, POP, LIGHT CRACKLE (BEING MORE NOTICED IN QUIETER PASSAGES, RUN INS, RUN OUTS ETC) THAT YOU WOULD EXPECT WITH RECORDS THAT HAVE BEEN STORED AWAY, THAT HAVENT BEEN PLAYED FOR MANY YEARS.
AS A MATTER OF COURSE I WOULD SUGGEST THAT THESE ARE GIVEN A CLEAN TO ENHANCE THE AUDIO FURTHER, PURELY DOWN TO THE FACT THAT THESE HAVENT BEEN OUT OF THE BOX I GOT THEM FROM FOR SUCH A LONG TIME. I WOULD EXPECT THEY WILL SOUND EVEN BETTER AS A RESULT OF PROFESSIONAL CLEANING.

Sleeve
Generic orange and white Motown sleeve, some handling creases and minor marks, song titles written on the back neatly, very small in pen top right corner.
