GRADING (also refer photos)

Record:

FAIR visual: lots of mainly light scuffs and handling wear (few light scratches across both sides).  A GAP-FILLER UNTIL A BETTER COPY TURNS UP!

audible: apparent surface noise, crackle and groove wear (in parts) – ideal for jukebox.  DEFINITELY NO JUMPS OR SKIPS – STILL AN ENJOYABLE LISTENING EXPERIENCE DESPITE THE FLAWS!

labels: side 1: moderate spindle wear & some handling wear, clear sticker/label; side 2: heavy spindle wear & some handling wear, clear sticker/label with small tear, square sticker stain.  Please examine digital pics closely!
