Grading Scale: SS, M, NM, E+, E, VG+, VG, G, F/P; +/- Vinyl: (VG+) Both sides have some very light superficial brush-like rub marks and a few light superficial surface scratch marks visible under bright light. The vinyl is super shiny with excellent original gloss. The record is in overall excellent condition. In normal light the record  looks like and E+.

Cover Sleeve/Artwork: (VG+) Both sides have some ring wear and  light rubbing in areas. The front has a indent near the top center edge. The back has three light surface creases near the top and bottom  edges. The back also has some surface creasing near the bottom left corner and left center along the sleeve opening edge. All edges and corners have some light rubbing in areas. The spine corners are very lightly bumped. The spine has a crease line down the center from  opening and closing the gatefold. The spine is also slightly pushed down making the front off center. The inside gatefold has some light rub wear along the top, bottom, and sides. There are no seam splits, cutouts, holes, or writing on the cover. All artwork and lettering are intact. Inner Sleeve: (E+) The bottom area on both sides have a light  impression mark from the record. One of the bottom corners is  lightly bumped. All corners are nice and crisp. There are no splits, cutouts, holes, or writing on the sleeve. The textured sleeve is very  clean and in excellent condition. Playback: Side 1 Track 2 has about 9 consecutive very light ticks halfway through. There are also a few very light ticks at the very end that run into the beginning of Track 3. Both sides play with some very light occasional crackle that can be heard during quieter passages. The light ticks and light crackle mentioned do not overpower the music whatsoever. A deeper   clean would help clear it up. Overall playback is super quiet and clear with exceptional sound quality.
