A perfect, factory‑fresh record. No marks, no handling, no spindle wear, no warping. Jacket is flawless with no creases or wear. Extremely rare for vintage records.

Looks almost new. Very minimal signs of handling. Vinyl is glossy with no visible marks. Plays clean with virtually no noise. Jacket has sharp corners and no ring wear.
⭐ Very Good Plus (VG+)
Light cosmetic marks or faint scuffs that do not affect play significantly. May have very light surface noise in quiet passages. Jacket may show minor edge wear or light ring wear but remains solid and attractive.
⭐ Very Good (VG)
Noticeable surface marks and light scratches, but still plays well with some surface noise or crackle. No skips. Jacket shows moderate wear, ring wear, or small creases. Still a good, collectible copy.
⭐ Good / Good Plus (G / G+)
Record plays through but with consistent noise, pops, or crackle. Visible scratches. Jacket may have seam wear, splits, or writing. Still usable but clearly well‑loved.
