The vinyl is graded visually in very good plus (side 1) and excellent plus condition. Please see below a description of grades and note that this vinyl is almost 54 years old that has been well played and will not transform into anything different to the condition stated.

The red and plum labels are in very good plus condition with stains (please see photo).

The gatefold sleeve is in excellent minus condition, it would have been better but is warped and has some creases. The spinner wheel is working well and rotating. The inside of the gatefold is in excellent condition. 

The spine is in near mint minus condition.

Visually-graded vinyl: A visual grading will identify physical flaws (such as scratches) and can help determine whether a record has been cared-for properly. A visual grading will not identify noise or crackle caused by non-visible sources. Most of the records I sell are between thirty and sixty years old and so it is likely that there may be some background noise even if they look perfect.
