Visual A

 Excepting rarest, hardly visible under a strong bulb lamp, extremely light, thin and unfeelable sleeve scuffs, the playing surface of this thick, shiny, carefully played vinyl, looks free of other noticeable signs of wear or handling as marks, scratches, groove wear

Visual B

One small extremely light abrasion on the 1st track and one absolutely insignificant, hardly visible under a strong bulb lamp, faint, unfeelable sleeve hairline. With NO other noticeable signs of wear or handling as scuffs, marks, scratches, groove wear

  Audio grade

Side A : NEAR MINT

Plays very clean with NO noticeable blemishes as tics, clicks, skips, noise   

Side B

1st track : EXCELLENT ++

Graded as such only because of 2 or 3 occasional extremely light, softly feelable well below the music level and not affecting the listening experience, crackles to the beginning caused by the flaw noted above during my visual inspection.

COVER : NEAR MINT- / VERY GOOD+

Original solid, laminated front, cardboard rear jacket

 The front side retains its striking, glossy original shape and is graded as such(NM-) only because of slightest hint of laminate lifting along the opening edge, barely noticeable and not affecting the integrity of the artwork whatsoever

Tight seams and fully readable spine with NO wear or splits (see pic)

 With NO ring-wear, NO dog-eared corners, NO tears

Back side graded as such (VG+) because of:

a "NOT FOR SALE" rubber stamp
