Except for a very few fine hairlines when angled into direct light the surfaces ar clean and shiny. One tiny surface mark on "Behind the wall of Sleep".

I grade my records on High-End equipment using the Lyra Delos cartridge with 1.75 grams tracking force through a Tube-Preamplifer feeding active Monitor-Speakers.
All records are cleaned on a Keith Monks Record Cleaning Machine and stored in Nagaoka Inner Sleeves. I pack safely and only ship by registered mail with full Insurance. All sales are final. I will only accept a return and credit of sales price if the returned item reaches me in the very same condition I sold it.
