Record has mild surface wear and light scratches visible which is most likely storage wear rather than play wear. Side 1 is the better of the two and i would grade 'good+' condition. Plays with slight crackles which are loudest in the run-in groove and seem to gradually fade as the side progresses, especially after the first two tracks, and aren't audible once the tracks get going. There are also occasional slight clicks, but overall sounds fine and is still acceptable. Side 2 i would grade as 'good' condition with slightly louder crackles which again fade slightly as the side progresses, and occasional clicks.
Labels look clean with only a relatively small amount of spindle marks on both sides. No writing or stickers.
Sleeve in very good condition with average general storage wear and a couple of small creases at the edges. The sleeve has been manufactured/assembled slightly uneven so that the rear panel sticks out slightly lower than bottom spine, and the protruding panels bottom edge is a bit scuffed. The spines actually look pretty clean with no splits. Light scuffs on corners, and a minor knock on the bottom left corner. Light ringwear. Where the rear panel is glued to the top edge it has come unstuck from the opening edge to about the middle, but this could easily be glued back down. On the rear next to the band name 'New Delight' are two words and an asterix written in extremely faint red pen. No stickers.
Inner sleeve in excellent condition.
