Vinyl condition:Visually strong VG+; Play graded VG+ due to sporadic vinyl noise that might be eliminated with a more thorough cleaning. Band four has a vinyl pimple at the end that caused a pop on three rotations - the pimple is original to the pressing.Despite the background noise, the performance is clear and very present on this pressing, and any tics or pops should be tolerated due to rarity.
