Record: VERY GOOD++ : The vinyl is graded highly, despite displaying two clear hairlines on side 1 - not deep or serious, and they don't effect playback, but the are clearly visible.
The labels are bright, clean and unmarked and showing only reasonably light spindle marks. Side 1 label clearly shows the "KT" tax mark embossed.
Plays very well, with no skips or jumps, and nothing that will spoil your enjoyment of the extrordinary MONO sound quality.

I try to accurately describe the condition as per The Record Collector's Guide's parameters:
MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or unplayed should be mint.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging may have some slight wear and/or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration etc.
