All 4 sides are glossy.
Side 1: VG+
Has a couple of wispy hairlines but this is minimal.
A few surface marks, none of which are penetrating.
Visually clean overall with a handful of visible marks which don’t affect the play.
We have play tested the record and we haven’t picked up and skips, jumps on side 1. Plays through well.
Side 2: VG+
Clean surface. A few light wispy hairlines but again this is minimal. A nice, tidy surface.
One visible penetrating marks measuring a couple of mm in length to start of track ‘dont pass me by’, this pops in the background for a few revolutions.
Side 3: EX
Clean surface. A few small surface marks under light but no penetrating or unsightly marks.
Side 4: VG+
Perfectly good surface, clean overall with some wispy hairlines and a few light surface marks.
A couple of small marks under a couple of mm that gave a slight feel when I gently run my nail over them.
One in track ‘cry baby cry’ and the last track ‘
Again a little light crackle but plays through fine.
All 4 records Play through fine on our system, a little faint background noise in the background here and there but this is very minimal. No skips or jumps.
All labels are clean. No pen or marking... a little surface spindle marking under light but again this is minimal.
Inner sleeves: black inner sleeves to both records with die-cut centre.
One sleeve is VG+
A little fuzzing to edges of paper, some creasing a little surface mark.
Other is VG
Has Some edge wear and wear to centre with a couple of rips.

L
Laminate is good overall. Just a bit of lift to spine.
A little ring wear/ surface marking but a good, presentable sleeve.
Not a minter but a decent enough example.
Lyric poster: VG
A clean and straight poster as a whole.
A little light fuzzing of paper along creases and a couple of small splits.
A little surface mark or two with creasing.
