Grading
Would visually as Excellent plus - light spindle marks on both labels. It plays well on my Linn Sondek, no skips, jumps or repeated clicks. Side 1 has crackle in places and occasional pop, so would grade audio Excellent minus. Side 2 is much better, very little crackle so would grade Excellent plus. Sleeve is Excellent minus, some marks and a little wear to opening of sleeve.
Note that record will be posted in a cardboard record mailer. Sleeve will be in a plastic sleeve, separate from the record and inner sleeve. Record and inner sleeve will be in a card sleeve.
