Disc - 'Excellent plus'
Lovely glossy vinyl with a few fine lines & light scuffs.
Clean labels with little visible spindle-marking, 4 prongs intact; slight spindle-hole wear? - see photos.
Generally plays like new; a tiny hard-to-see mark generates a couple of quiet pops near the end of A1; slight lead-in crackle both sides.
Sleeve - 'Excellent minus'
Superbly glossy laminate, with only very slight ring-marking; very minimal edge-wear with no splits; nice tidy flipbacks.
Some small creases; slightly bumped corners; open edge slightly fuzzy.
The back is pretty clean & straight, with some ring-marking but no ink-loss; name in blue, also couple small marks in red ink - see photos.

Condition Guide
I use the Record Collector's Magazine's Grading Guide - which is also the ebay standard - to describe the condition of records.
"MINT - M: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
EXCELLENT - Ex: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.
VERY GOOD - VG: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD - G: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.
FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler."
Note - I don't use 'Mint' as a description - and I don't sell less-than-'Good'.
