Vinyl about VG+, glossy and clean with light surface wear (hairline scratches, faint scuffs). Light audible noise between tracks and in quiet passages. Plays through very nicely.
Jacket peel job is so-so, with some loss of the original image in several small patches (see scan). One-inch seam split at bottom right, another on spine center of about two inches.

Live Wax Grading Process and Standards
--------------------------------------
All open records are cleaned using a Nitty Gritty Minipro 1 and then visually AND play-graded (visual grading alone will not adequately determine sound quality or reveal all potential defects - we reject many records that "look great"). Where appropriate/needed, records are then placed in Diskeeper audiophile sleeves and jacketed in poly sleeves for storage.
We are conservative in our grading: if borderline, we err on the side of caution and apply the lower grade. We intend for our customers to be delighted more often than not, and never less than satisfied.
Grades
------
Still Sealed (SS): In original shrink wrap, and with no visible defects.
Near Mint (NM): No visible or audible defects, appears unplayed.
Very Good Plus (VG+): Shows slight signs of wear. Light scuffs or scratches may be present, rarely/barely audible.
No seam splits to jacket.
Very Good (VG): Obvious wear and handling, including visible groove wear, surface noise, audible scratches,
ring wear and small seam splits.
We generally do not offer any material in less than VG condition.
