This record sounds more MINT for all song play, the vinyl only has an EX visual grade  & despite any surface scuffs or  wear this record sounds kick ass & I'll  boast about it so YOU buy it, ALSO there is  a 5% bow from the middle down to the edge that  IN NO WAY IMPACTS ANY SOUND / the bow  spins flat so you can't tell its there so much,  I was in shocked when playing it expecting some kind of surface noise there, somewhere - it's not there at all. Buy With Confidence..!
All records are $4.00 for the 1st record and $1.00 for each additional record when bundling for combined shipping cost, AFTER YOUR ITEM WINS PLEASE PAY WITHIN 48 HRS OF THE CLOSING OF THE ITEM, THANK YOU.
I am a critical sound grader, listening to both sides  with headphones on start to finish to bring you the details  of the sound condition of the vinyl before selling here --Truthfully, I  believe in honesty being the best policy so you're not surprised or  disappointed upon arrival -- the record may be a slight bit linty, I'll point  out where taps are on the description in (black & blue area) up above.

Balloon shaped "?" logo in runout denoes an  Allied Record Company pressing.
The vinyl labels match another version, but the runouts differ. Most significantly, the  runouts of that version do not indicate that  it was pressed by Allied Record Company

Visual Condition Grades:

MINT     This record looks perfect, with NO flaws what so ever on the surface. It looks as though it had never been handled. No scuffs or scratches, blotches or stains. SEALED or opened.

NM, NM+/M-     This record appears virtually flawless. Very little wear can appear on the vinyl. It will play without any noise over any flaws, if any/ very clean vinyl.

 EX, EX+    This record will still sound very nice, there may be lite surface noise or a random few taps between songs -(no skips there or constant repeating taps), still sounding VERY clean through most of the record.

 VG+/EX-    Some scuffs will be on the surface. Scuffs that don't create long surface noise persisting for a long length of time--a bit loved and played harder than EX/NM.

 VG    Record shows wear, surface scuffs. The vinyl still has a great luster, but the flaws will be noticeable to the naked eye, maybe even a blemish under the surface of the vinyl not effecting sound. If the flaws/blemish don't cause any surface noise, the vinyl can still make the VG+ grade. 

 GOOD     A good record will look very well played, dull. However a Good record should still play. It will have distracting surface noise. Such as crackle that is continuous or some hiss. It will also have some loss of dynamics caused from grooves being worn. It should play without any skips or any obtrusively snaps or repeated clicks, caused by deeper scratches.
