Grading
Would grade the record visually as VG+. On side 1 there is a light scratch across runout and 2cm into Band 2. There is also an 3cm area of very faint sleeve marks and few other faint marks. On side 2, there is a faint 3cm scratch on Band 1 and a few other very faint small scratches. It plays well on my Linn Sondek, no skips or jumps. On side 1 there is audible crackle on first half, however second half is better. So I would audio grade this side as VG. On side 2, there is crackle at the start for about one minute. After that there is light crackle that is audible in the quieter places. So I would audio grade this side as VG+. Sleeve is VG. 17/6 is written on the top right of the rear sleeve. There is a mark on the edge of the opening on the front sleeve. There is also some “residue” near the opening on the rear sleeve and some marks on the rear sleeve itself. I have done my best to show this on the photos.?Inner sleeve is creased.
Note that record will be posted in a cardboard record mailer. Sleeve will be in a plastic sleeve, separate from the record and inner sleeve. Record and inner sleeve will be in a card sleeve.
Finally, please note that the posting costs will be as follows??
