Grading
Would visually grade side 1 as Excellent and side 2 as VG+ - both sides have some light marks and faint hairlines that show under strong light under strong light. Labels have only a small amount of marks around the spindle hole. It plays on my Linn Sondek virtually perfectly, no skips, jumps or repeated clicks, and there is very little crackle. Sleeve is in excellent condition, some wear and creasing, slight ring wear on back at edge next to opening. Some laminate is lifting on front edge at the opening.
Note that record will be posted in a cardboard record mailer. Sleeve will be in a plastic sleeve, separate from the record and inner sleeve. Record and inner sleeve will be in a card sleeve.
