Play tested. This has been well played over the years. There is some surface noise. I’ve pictured the record in daylight so you can see the condition of the shellac. Plays all the way through; no skipping. Please take a good look at the pictures. I have been cautious with my grading as I wouldn't want to disappoint any buyers. 

I am an experienced eBay seller, 8 years on this account but over 20 years in total, and will ensure the record is securely packaged. I am not experienced in grading vinyl, but I have play tested everything that I have listed and followed the Record Collector grading system which has the same grades as here on Ebay. I am unsure of how to grade this record as there is a chunk missing but not on the playing surface. You can hear the first bass note in the intro, even though it looks like the first couple of grooves are missing due to the break in the record. Apron strings also plays all the way through and is not affected by the missing chunk of record.If it weren't for the missing iece of record I would say it is Very Good condition. The grading is as follows:

Mint - The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration of sound quality.

Excellent - The record shows some signs of having been played but there is lessening of sound quality.

Very Good (VG) - The record has obviously been played many times but displays no deterioration of sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and an occasional light scratch.

Good - The record has been played so much the sound quallity has noticeably deteriorated perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches.

Fair - The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise. It may even jump.

Poor - The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc.

Bad - The record is unplayable and might even be broken and is only of use as a collection filler.
