Beautiful clean record, with a deep glossy shine.

A nice quiet background and a strong first issue sound.

Light marks to the surface when viewed closely, but nothing that disturbs the needle more than an occasional random light tick.

No skips, jumps or any other disturbance remotely close to causing one.

The vinyl plays really really well, and the blemishes that prevent a NM grading are small. A great sounding record, and really nice music... I can understand why this record is in high demand.

A solid cover in Good condition, it has no splits or tears, a really nice front surface with no ring wear or ink loss. It once had tape applied to all the edges (as reinforcement, rather than as repair)  but the tape has literally disintegrated, and left some yellowing along the edges where it was applied, more noticeable on the rear of the sleeve.

Truly lovely labels, see the pics.

Grading

MINT:   The piece it is describing is Sealed or undamaged in any way. unquestionably perfect.
(This classification is often overused by deceptive sellers. Here it is reserved for perfect unsealed items, and the contents of undamaged sealed records,  - it must be beyond doubt - "as new") - Rarely, if ever  used by me... it is too subjective and open for dispute.

NEAR MINT.     The piece it is describing is unsealed, but shows no significant sign of deterioration and looks as it was when it was new.
EXCELLENT  (VG+)    The piece it is describing shows some slight signs of deterioration, use or slight wear. 
VERY GOOD:    The piece it is describing has obviously been used, but has been well looked after, displays no significant deterioration, just normal wear.
GOOD:    The piece it is describing has been used so much that it has noticeably deteriorated, but with only minor blemishes

  Good is still Good, - I do not sell below this grade unless the label is in high demand and short supply.

FAIR:    The piece it is describing is still usable but has not been cared for properly and displays obvious signs of deterioration.
POOR:    The piece it is describing will function properly, but shows signs of significant damage or deterioration.
BAD:    The piece it is describing is unusable, missing or damaged beyond repair and does not function as intended.
