GRADE DESCRIPTION COVER : VG, light seam wear, no splits. Clean front with no ring wear and very subtle creases. Very light rubbing wear on back See pics
GRADE DESCRIPTION RECORD : VG/VG- play graded . Some light surface scuffs, mostly on Side One, which has a couple of very fine hairlines that tick softly but repeatedly, first at the end of track 1, then towards the end of track 2 / beginning of track 3 see photos .
These scuffs are not deep and cause low-level ticking on an otherwise very loud and well pressed record. Despite these flaws, the listening experience is excellent with NO skips, NO loud pops and NO groove wear.
The rest of the LP outside the affected areas plays a very solid VG, probably most graders VG .
All records are original unless otherwise noted. Will be shipped safely in a record mailer, with the record outside the cover to protect the seams. Buyer pays return shipping.
