LP -Visual and Play
 All 4 sides of the LPs have been not only visually examined, but also played on a quality deck and carefully listened to all the way through. 
 The sound reproduction of all 4 sides is outstanding, excellent, flaw-free, no skips, no jumps, no clicks, no crackles or other funny noises, just sounds great.
Side 1 - visually EX+ only the faintest of minor scuffs visible in strong light at tracks 1/2 
Side 2 - visually EX, three very short and extremely superficial marks with no effect on the soundtrack.  Outstanding 5 star sound on this whole side
Side 3 - visually EX- , three minute scuffs marks with no effect on the soundtrack.
Side 4 - visually EX- the most minor of surface markings on 1 track only, no effect on soundtrack.
