Vinyl was lightly cleaned and play tested through Focal Elegia's and it played as NM- and I numerically scored the play a 94. The driving issue is a bit of light surface noise mostly noticeably between tracks. It played a bit better than EX but driving the EX rating is a visual inspection which reveals a few light marks, certainly nothing of significance and visually it is really close to NM- and sounds wicked good, especially B5; She absolutely sounds like she's leading a raiding party.
The sleeve is scored as EX (and as close to NM as can possibly be) showing only the most faint corner wear, a super light area of ring wear (only at certain angles) at the top and bottom of the sleeve (it's about 15% of the LP and it's not on the back) and a couple of creases running in from the spine (typically hidden by the OBI, which shows only light wear) with the longest running 13mm and a dimple on the top spine running 4mm. The inserts show only light wear as well. Numerically I am scoring the sleeve a 93; it's about as perfect as you're going to find.
Album will be mailed in a cardboard mailer between cardboard. If you have any questions please let me know and thanks for looking!
