El Saturn was not a label known for high quality pressing or vinyl.
Almost all records on the label play with some surface noise even when new and frequently do not play up to visual grade.
I have pointed out any that were particularly poor pressings.
In addition, many records on the label are of sub par recording quality.
The record looks VG /M-.
Pressing is average for ES with light noise to moderate noise and record plays VG on quiet parts to VG on loud passages.
Side 1 has a small light superficial scuff app 1 inch on Track 2 and 3 that causes some light ticking.
Side 2 looks clean except for two pressing bumps that each cause a light thump.
Grooves do not show wear or damage.
The cover is VG .
The front cover has a Sun Ra sticker.
It seems to be paper and was probably pasted or glued on.
It is still firmly attached but coming loose at bottom right.
The sticker is clean and bright.
The cover itself has light wear and small sticker residue.
The back cover has typewritten piece of paper taped on.
The paper is bright and clean.
The back cover itself has light wear.
No split seams.
Small spots of wear and denting at the corners.
Spine is intact.
Black lines that might be visible at bottom left and top right in pictures are due to photo cropping and not on record.I WILL NOT END AUCTIONS EARLY.
PLEASE DO NOT ASK.
My highest grade is M- and I rarely grade 50s or 60s records M-.

I attempt to grade conservatively, listing all significant flaws.
You will be satisfied.
No hassles.
