Sound: VG

After listening right through this album, the sound is really good with the occasional crackle in the run in/out and the linking grooves. There are a couple of pops, clicks but they are very infrequent. Overall the album is a great listen with good overall clarity and depth of sound, with no skips or jumps. 

Overall its a good sound, with some occasional noise, with good range and power

Spine: The surface is a bit bumpy. Text perfectly readable. Slight nick to the laminate. Nice and straight overall. 

Seams: Lovely and tidy, no damage or heavy wear. Bottom seam is a little curved at one end. 

Opening: A bit curved and slightly turned at the edges. Overall pretty tidy and no damage

Front Cover: There are a couple of 1 inch crease veins at the 3 o’clock position and down the spine edge. A small square of old cellotape glue top left at spine edge. Some light discolouration and the odd pin prick mark. Overall it still presents well. No rips/tears

Back Cover: Some crease viens top/bottom left corners. Cellotape residue top right about 2 inches long. A couple of lightly dinked corners 

Sleeve: Plain white poly lined is clean

Overall a good vinyl & cover with some noticeable wear. A very rare album which still sounds and looks nice.

* VINYL GRADE DESCRIPTION GUIDE

MINT (M): A perfect record that looks like it has just left the factory, with NO flaws what so ever looking as though it had never been handled. No scuffs or scratches, blotches or stains.

NEAR MINT (NM): The record appears virtually flawless at first glance and has a great luster. It should only have very minor scuffs or marks on the surface of the vinyl, which are only visible under strong light. It should play without any noise particularly over the flaw. 

EXCELLENT (EX): A record with only minor scuffs, which are only slightly visible. There may be more than a few scuffs or marks. It should play without any noise over the flaw.

VERY GOOD (VG): The record shows wear which could include surface scuffs and marks, blotches or stains. The vinyl still has a great luster, but the flaws will be noticeable to the naked eye. The flaws may cause some surface noise.
