LP is a solid VG+, with light scuffs on either side. Interior labels are very clean. LP appears clean and retains a nice gloss. LP plays with some surface noise (some intermittent crackle and tics). A professional clean may greatly reduce the amount of surface noise present.  Listen to a track from each side of this actual LP, for reference:

Side 1 Song 1.mp3
Side 2 Song 1.mp3
