>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Vinyl condition*: VG

Labels: Both sides are really clean with some noticeable but feint spindle marks 

Spindle hole: There is some wear under light, but no rub 

Playing surface: Both sides look nice and clean. When turned to the light there are hairlines, light scuffs and handling marks on both sides, but overall it presents well. 

Run Off: There are some light marks. 

Sound*: VG

After listening right through this album, the sound is really good, however there are some sections where some background is evident, however this is occasional and mostly trace only. Overall there is great depth and range of sound and clarity. Nice loud press with no skips or jumps. Plays EX for major portions of the LP

Overall its a excellent sounding copy, but just not quite perfect to grant the higher grading

Cover & sleeve*: EX

Spine: Perfectly readable text, with pinched edges. The surface is a little bumpy, but the laminate is intact.

Seams: No splits, very tidy and straight

Opening: Very straight, no damage, just light curving near the edge

Front Cover: Very shiny, no damage and very clean, with very very feint ring wear. it looks superb

Back Cover: Some light laminate lift near the spine edge. Small 1 inch crease top left edge

Sleeve: Plain white with age related discolouration. 

Overall a really nice copy with loud sound, whilst there are some portions with some noticeable background interference and trace noise, its brief and it plays EX mostly. A really nice cover and a very good looking vinyl with clean labels.

VINYL GRADE DESCRIPTION GUIDE

MINT (M): A perfect record that looks like it has just left the factory, with NO flaws what so ever looking as though it had never been handled. No scuffs or scratches, blotches or stains.

NEAR MINT (NM): The record appears virtually flawless at first glance and has a great luster. It should only have very minor scuffs or marks on the surface of the vinyl, which are only visible under strong light. It should play without any noise particularly over the flaw. 

EXCELLENT (EX): A record with only minor scuffs, which are only slightly visible. There may be more than a few scuffs or marks. It should play without any noise over the flaw.

VERY GOOD (VG): The record shows wear which could include surface scuffs and marks, blotches or stains. The vinyl still has a great luster, but the flaws will be noticeable to the naked eye. The flaws may cause some surface noise. 

A plus (+) or (-) following the condition indicate variations of the condition i.e. VG+ is in slightly better condition than VG but not excellent.
