Vinyl is actually in really great shape and plays beautifully except for one pressing defect on track B2 (see last photo). Defect begins about halfway through track B2, and is only audible when the defect comes around.  Still plays through, just hear a muted pop when it enters the defect.  Clip here: https://youtu.be/w7ufw4zmrAk. Absent this would be a VG+ lp. Labels are really nice. Cover has faint ringwear and a faint crease on the top right frontside corner.

My grading scale is as follows:
M: This is a new and sealed record. For jackets, corners are sharp, and no creases or any other wear.
NM: The record looks basically new. No marks of any kind. Jackets will have no creases, folds, seam splits, cut-out holes, or other noticeable similar defects.
VG+: Will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled (slight scuffs or very light scratches), but signs will be of a cosmetic nature. Any defects do not affect not playback. Jacket may have slight signs of wear, and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation, or cut corner.
VG: The record can have quite a few hairlines and maybe a few scratches. There will likely be noise (in passages or throughout), but the record will play through and be very enjoyable. Jackets may have seam partial seam splits, creases, rounded corners, or other wear.
G: A record can be played through without skipping, but will have noticeable scratches and/or groove wear that will result in surface noise and "ticks" that accompany the playback. A cover or sleeve will have complete seam splits, tape, writing, ring wear, or other significant defects will be present.
