You are bidding on a play-tested The Remains "Self-Titled" LP released on Epic Records (LN-24214). Grading as Follows, using goldmine standards:

Vinyl: Side 1/Side 2: VG+/VG+ -- I gave this record another closer listen and I decided I'd grade it slightly better. Both sides play great with no skips. Side 1 has some light scratching that goes with the grain of the record, and a light surface scratch against the grain of the vinyl and again, no skips or pops. Surface noise on side 1 is very faint between tracks and during songs it's not noticeable at all unless during a very quiet passage.  Side 2 has a scratch that goes against the grain of the record, and some more minor scratches with the grain, and no skips again. Surface noise on side 2 is just slightly noisier than on side 1, but it's not distracting at all. Visually both sides of the record are fairly glossy when examined in the right light, but there is some sleeve burn can obscure it.  There is light - moderate spindle wear on both sides of the label indicating the record was listened to more than a few times.

Jacket: VG+ -- NOT a cut-out, standard light/moderate ringwear on both sides. There is a 3" long scratch on the front cover that you may be able to see in the picture, and some small light pink staining you may be able to see in the picture. The white printed back jacket has light ringwear and light aging discoloration, but otherwise fantastic with no writing or other defects. All edges are fairly clean and crisp with no fraying, including the spine.

I'd grade the record a SOLID VG+, and despite it's visual flaws, is a great playing copy that doesn't have much noise at all
