GRADING (also refer photos)

Record:              

visual: retains a beautiful sheen despite some hairlines & light surface scuffs, also one scratch that runs parallel with the groove (side 1: starts at 35 secs for a few revolutions only) (side 1: VG-, side 2: VG+) (seen under strong light).  The minimum bid has been lowered!

audible: side 1: G+ sounds OK overall despite significant underlying surface noise/crackle—music still dominates! (‘tick’ sound for a few revolutions only as stylus passes over affected area > 0:35 - 0:40) / side 2: VG sounds quite acceptable despite some underlying surface noise.  DEFINITELY NO JUMPS OR SKIPS!

labels: HARDLY ANY SPINDLE WEAR / 3 x stars stamped (side 2).

sleeve: original “Apple” sleeve.
