Condition
This record is graded at the lower end of the VG (Very Good) spectrum - as you can see from the pictures there is pen on the labels, previous DJ owner wrote BPMs etc on the label plus there are some marks as you can see from pictures. As a result there are the usual crackles and pops you'd expect from a 31 year old VG record.  This is graded to Goldmine Standards which states:

Very Good (VG)
Many of the imperfections found on a VG+ record are more obvious on a VG record. That said, VG records — which usually sell for no more than 25 percent of a NM record — are among the biggest bargains in record collecting, because most of the “big money” goes for more perfect copies. For many listeners, a VG record or sleeve will be worth the money.

VG records have more obvious flaws than their counterparts in better shape. They lack most of the original gloss found on factory-fresh records. Groove wear is evident on sight, as are light scratches deep enough to feel with a fingernail. When played, a VG record has surface noise, and some scratches may be audible, especially in soft passages and during a song’s intro and ending. But the noise will not overpower the music otherwise.

Writing, tape or a sticker can detract from the label. Many collectors who have jukeboxes or are DJs will use VG records and not think twice. They remain a fine listening experience, just not the same as if it were in better shape.
