Description
Vinyl is EX Jacket is VG Inner Sleeve is VG
please see grading descriptions below
I played the entire record and there were no skips or sticks that I could detect. There is a scuff on "Back in Black" that does not affect playback at all. Aside from that scuff the record looks and plays like new. The record is crackle-free during quiet passages (which are few on this record of course, but nevertheless quiet - like Hell's Bells and the Beginning of Back in Black).
The inner sleeve has a split on one side seam (about 3 inches), but the remaining seams are fully intact with no splits.
Please review the pictures for further details on the condition of the jacket. The title is embossed.
Your record will be shipped in a cardboard LP mailer and wrapped in shipper's wrap inside for further moisture protection. The record will be removed from the jacket and placed in a new sleeve outside of the record so that it doesn't slide around inside the jacket and create damage during transit.

Grading System Definitions:
Mint (M) - Perfect condition. Completely clean, no marks and unplayed. Almost only used for factory sealed items. Occasionally used for open, unplayed records.
Near Mint / Excellent (NM/EX) - Nearly perfect with shiny gloss, plays perfectly with no imperfections. Typically only played a few times or less. Cover will have no more than very minor imperfections, showing only signs of slight handling. Covers should have no creases, folds, seam splits, cut-out holes, or other noticeable similar defects. The same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, etc.
Very Good Plus (VG+) - Record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Defects should be more of a cosmetic nature, not affecting the actual playback as a whole. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK". The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. Spindle marks may be present. Picture sleeves and inner sleeves will have some slight wear, slightly turned-up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear, and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation, or cut corner. In general, if not for a couple of minor things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint.
Very Good (VG) - Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time.
Good (G) - The record can be played through without skipping but it will have significant surface noise, scratches, and visible groove wear. A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear, or other defects will be present. While the record will be playable without skipping, noticeable surface noise and "ticks" will almost certainly accompany the playback.
Fair (F) - The record is cracked, badly warped, and won't play through without skipping or repeating. The picture sleeve is water damaged, split on all three seams and heavily marred by wear and writing. The LP cover barely keeps the LP inside it. Inner sleeves are fully split, crinkled, and written upon.
