Visual grading
Under a bright light I can detect various faint hairlines and a couple of more obvious ones.  The majority of them have probably been caused by removal from the heavy duty card inner.  There are no deep scratches however and the audio still plays to an excellent standard.  There is some spindle wear although not very much.
Play grading

'Shine On...' plays extremely well with a little underlying static in the background but is not intrusive.  There is no loud crackle or pops and for a first pressing the audio is of an excellent standard.  'Welcome To The Machine' has wonderful audio and hardly any interference, a great version.

'Have a Cigar' plays superbly well with very little background static.  'Wish You Were Here' does have some light crackle at the beginning and then plays with excellent clarity and only a little static during the quieter sections.  'Shine On Part Two' plays in a similar way with some static that can be heard in the quieter parts.  Overall though this vinyl plays very well with no pops or jumps and the background noise you can hear is largely unintrusive. It remains a quality listen.

Cover

This iconic cover is definitely one of the best you will find.  It is in near perfect condition apart from a couple of tiny marks on the front cover and a fingerprint mark on the back.  It has retained its 'whiteness' superbly well when you consider how prone they are to staining.  The edges and thin pinched spine are in superlative order with no shelf wear.
Lyric inner  
This has the die cut inner sleeve with three corners cropped.  It is in superb condition with only very minor ringwear and one fingerprint.  No splits to any of the sides.
Postcard 
The postcard (with serrated edges) is in immaculate condition and has no creases or marks.
