VINYL CONDITION - VG
Visual inspection shows a fairly clean side 1, with decent gloss, and numerous superficial scuffs and scratches, none of them feelable.  Side 2 shows more wear, with a pronounced scratch line thru tracks 3 thru 6, but again, not feelable.  This album has been play graded.  It plays to a solid VG standard.  There is some background noise, but it is not overly obtrusive.  At the end of the last Track on side 2, there are more pronounced pops/cracks, but not too bad.  NO SKIPS/JUMPS.  This is a very listenable copy.

COVER CONDITION - VG
Light ringwear, but not too objectionable.  1" seam split on top; 8" split on bottom.  Spine has aprx a 5" split, but still readable.  Rear has some very light writing and some tape residue (1/2"x2") at top left, but is still fairly white.  While not stellar, she is presentable.
