Cover:- VG++ ... front cover has thin dark strip down right hand edge which is actually cardboard where the actual photo sleeve has stopped so obviously an error in cutting. Back cover gas blue ink numbers top right (see photo) and the rimming effect again. Other than that the cover is lovely.
Vinyl: VG+ - light marks, plays through very well, occasional background crackle but nothing distracting.
Labels: VG++ - slight light spotting

GRADINGS I USE:
(M) MINT = VINYL absolutely perfect in every way, never played.
(NM) NEAR MINT = VINYL nearly perfect, no obvious signs of wear. COVER should have no creases, folds, seam splits, cut-out holes.
(VG++) VERY GOOD PLUS PLUS = VINYL may have scuff marks, very light scratches and signs of some wear but will still play almost perfectly, with only barely detectable crackles; a slight noise at the beginning is allowable. COVER may only have the slightest signs of normal wear.
(VG+) VERY GOOD PLUS = VINYL has light scratches, may have light crackle or make other annoying noises, but only occasionally, and no more loudly than the music. COVER has normal wear such a ring wear, creases, wear at corners, edges & spine.
(VG) VERY GOOD = In between G+ and VG+
(G+) GOOD PLUS = VINYL has scratches, may have continuous crackles, but not too many, a few pops maybe present and has obvious surface noise. COVER has more than normal wear and tear. Still will be an OK listen, but perhaps more a filler for a collector.
I do not list any items under the G+ grading. I do grade on the conservative side.
