It appears to have been played on an automatic changer or stacked unsleeved, On side 1, there are about ten scuffs and superficial marks as well as light, short scratches on the first two tunes. Side 2 has about the same number of scuffs, no scratches. I spot played the record. There were about 10 ticks on the first tune on side 1 and ticking through most of the second.The ticking was light, not as loud as the music and not annoying or intrusive. The rest of the side played with light surface noise and some crackling from the scuffs that never overwhelmed the music. Side 2 played a bit better, with light surface noise and some crackling from the scuffs. There seems to be only very light groove wear and the music played loud and strong and was enjoyable to listen to. On the quiet tunes, the record plays VG, on the uptempo tunes, VG+. It might play better with a mono cartridge than it did with my stereo one. The labels are deep groove on both sides. The cover is VG. There is only light wear on the front and it looks good. The top seam is taped about 4 inches and split untaped about 3 inches. The bottom seam is split, untaped about 1 inch at the pocket and about 2 inches in the middle. Spine intact with about 1 inch of laminate coming loose. Spots of heavy wear at corners. Moderate wear on back.
