Visual
The sleeve is like new - Near Mint  (Top sleeve - see the pictures)
The labels are Excellent (see the pictures, no writing, clean spindle hole) The vinyl is Excellent (faint lines, minimal / no audio interference)

The audio Side One - The audio is Near Mint - the background is clean, the deadwax is quiet, the audio quality is superb. Sharp, dynamic and clean audio, with fantastic stereo separation. (overall EX)
Side Two - The audio is Excellent, the background is clean, the deadwax is quiet. The only audible blemish is Six very light tics, at the very start of track 1 (Squealer) 2 tics, then about a minute break, and then 4 more - very slight and minimal interference - not loud or ugly.(overall VG+)
A very near mint playing vinyl record
The sleeve
No splits, no rips, no writing, no tears, and no ink loss. It is like new, and they are not often found in this sort of condition, as they are quite fragile, and very prone to wear.
A superb looking, and playing Australian Blue Roo first pressing of the original Australian version of Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap.

This is an above average used record, that has been well looked after.




GOOD

The cover and contents may suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc. 




FAIR
41 to 55
The record is still playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even stick, skip or jump.. This is starting to be an unpleasant listening experience at the top of the grade (55) and will not be a pleasant listening experience at all by the end of it (41).
The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
