Vinyl Grade (Visual): Record displays a small scuff that is audibly undetectable during play; record displays a few very light hairline scratches that are audibly undetectable (with the exception of one; please read further) during play; please see pictures.
Vinyl Notes (Play-Tested): Light ‘hissy’ surface noise noticed on both sides of the record (pressing characteristic; not from scratches, wear, or debris); excellent-sounding recording, although it seems a little bright to me; 3 light, repeating ‘ fuzzy clicks’ (due to tiny scratch parallel to the grooves) can be heard at the end of “Travelin’ Blues”, but no pops, skips, or anything else that would detract from the music.
Cover Grade: VG- (cover displays a moderate area of moisture damage on back of the gatefold; please see pictures)
Inner Sleeve Grade: VG+++

All of my vinyl records have been cleaned, visually graded, and 'play-graded'. Everyone that owns vinyl understands that just because the record looks good, it doesn't mean that it sounds good. Buying used vinyl can be risky. I would never want to unknowingly pass along a record that I wouldn't be happy with myself, so this is why I take the time to play-grade all my vinyl listings. In addition, all of my records have been treated with Gruv Glide to provide the best fidelity possible.

Kindly allow for a handling time of three business days.

This item is from my personal collection, comes from a pet and smoke-free home, and will be packaged securely and safely shipped with bubble wrap in a sturdy cardboard LP mailer. Note: Record will be shipped outside the jacket for added protection. Everything will then be enclosed in a poly-sleeve.
