The vinyl has a few light scratches, VG.

Some scratches are audible and may be loud. G Many imperfections of varying degrees including both light scratches and scratches deep enough to be felt with a fingernail. G+ and G- are used to indicate stronger and weaker copies within this range. Scratches are audible but record will play without skips.
