As I am not a professional record seller, I will try my best to list this an honestly as I can using the record collectors grading system. I have also listened to this album twice through.
I would personally grade the vinyl as GOOD/VERY GOOD. Playing it through I could not hear many crackles. Although there are some scratches on the vinyl, it does not impact on how it plays - it is a very pleasurable listening experience. You can hear some crackles at the beginning of track 3 on each side. Also some noticeable crackles at the beginning of the ocean and during the quiet breakdown. But nothing in my opinion that is really going to detract from the general listener. The record certainly does not jump of shows any signs of warping. I have not cleaned the vinyl in any way. Although tempted, I'd rather leave it to the buyer who will no doubt be a collector and have a way that he likes to this.
I would also rate the audio as Excellent - again I couldn't hear any crackling between tracks & there was certainly no sticking or jumps to the audio.
The inner sleeve I would grade as good - it has no creases or bent corners but they is some splitting to the sides. The outer cover I would grade as very good, normal wear and tear, no spine splits.
Vinyl labels I was class as Excellent
I believe this is an accurate description of this vinyl and its sleeve - if you disagree I am happy to accept the return for a full refund
