Play Grading.

On play grading this vinyl I found some background interference mainly between tracks.

There were no skips, sticking and pops, just the sound of what I assume is static.

I grade the playing experience as very good, using The Rare Records Collectors Guide.

VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
