This is a heavy vinyl and it is not warped. Both sides of the record have a light scattering of fine surface scratches and bag marks visible when viewed under a bright light, but I cannot feel any of them with light fingertip touch. The record plays well all the way through, very clearly with just some light crackle where it can be heard and a few random ticks - the audio is really excellent. There are no sticks, no skips, no jumps and very little lessening of the sound quality.
The track titles can be seen on the label photographs. The labels have some light spindle lines and slight signs of handling - no writing, no damage.
The cover is a standard single sleeve. The front is coated with a clear laminate which has some small creases at the edges, a tiny line of laminate lift next to the spine and two small thumb creases near the open edge. The back is not laminated, but it is still reasonably clean, just slight discolouration, some small spots and a ring mark where it has traced the outside edge of the vinyl. It also has a narrow white strip along the top seam on the back - I am not sure why, but it is very neat so I am not going to try and remove it.
The spine is excellent and although it is a little flattened and creased, it is fully and clearly readable.
The inner sleeve is a large stereo blue block version with poly-liner, fully intact - no seam splits, no tears and, apart from a few brown spots, it is remarkably clean and in very good condition.
I have checked the Record Collector grading system and I would say that the cover is 'near excellent', the record is visually 'very good+' and the audio is 'excellent'.
I have described this as carefully and honestly as possible, but it is a no return item so please bid accordingly.
It will be packed in a strong record mailing box with two pieces of card inside for further protection.
