Disc - 'Very Good plus'
Looks great for its age - nice glossy vinyl with some scuffs, hairlines, clean labels with spindle-marks showing a fair number of plays.
Plays well - a soft, quiet crackle throughout, with one or two soft pops, which do not take your attention from the music.
However, there's a circular scratch - about a quarter-revolution - in the middle of 'Pain In My Heart' - probably where an autochanger has dropped another record onto the tonearm.
Looks terrible, but actually the horrible noise lasts only about half a second, and there's no apparent skip.
Sleeve - 'Very Good plus'
Front-laminated flipback card outer - with the "blind man" text - is a bit limp, but in remarkably good nick for its almost fifty years - no splits, no rips, only tiny inked initials on the back - see photos.
There is a plain paper 'no-hole' sleeve in reasonable condition, with album name & initials in ink - I don't think it's the original 'retail' inner.
Supplied with new poly-lined paper inner.

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'.
