Spindle hole: Nice and clean

Run Off: Lovely & shiny

Sound*: EX

After listening right through this album, the sound is really really good apart from a few brief infrequent sections of very light crackles especially in the run in/out and the linking grooves. Overall the album is a great listen and very enjoyable. There is good overall clarity and depth of sound, with no skips or jumps. 

Overall its a great sound, with very light background noise

Spine: There are a few light creases along the face of the spine, but its straight and both ends are tidy with all of the text intact and crisp

Seams: No splits and straight with light dents along the length. The top edge of the opening is slightly dinked. 

Opening: Very straight with ever so slight thumb damage

Front Cover: Held under light there is a small amount of very feint ring wear, feint veins at the top, bottom and seam edges. A few tiny crease veins show in the centre, but its really clean. 

Back Cover: Very nice and tidy with feint ring wear outline and a very light 3 inch cut mark that runs down from the middle of the last paragraph of text (hardly noticeable).  

Sleeve: Plain white with light age related wear

Overall a really nice sound, with some very light spells of crackle. The vinyl looks lovely and clean with light handling marks. The cover is clean and again very lightly aged

* VINYL GRADE DESCRIPTION GUIDE

MINT (M): A perfect record that looks like it has just left the factory, with NO flaws what so ever looking as though it had never been handled. No scuffs or scratches, blotches or stains.

NEAR MINT (NM): The record appears virtually flawless at first glance and has a great luster. It should only have very minor scuffs or marks on the surface of the vinyl, which are only visible under strong light. It should play without any noise particularly over the flaw. 

EXCELLENT (EX): A record with only minor scuffs, which are only slightly visible. There may be more than a few scuffs or marks. It should play without any noise over the flaw.

VERY GOOD (VG): The record shows wear which could include surface scuffs and marks, blotches or stains. The vinyl still has a great luster, but the flaws will be noticeable to the naked eye. The flaws may cause some surface noise.
