Both the vinyl and jacket are graded very good. Following a light cleaning there were some marks on the A-side with much more noticeable 'wiping' on the back (you'll see, it looks like someone wiped it against the grain and this is coupled to some other marks as well) and it translates into the sound with noticeable background noise. I was listening through Grado PS1000e's and the B-side was tough. This having been said the A-side plays more along the lines of low excellent, very light surface noise with 3 pops (one during Crystal Ship and two during Light My Fire); it sounds really good. The cover shows a fair amount of rub wear and corner wear which has been captured in the pictures. There is a fair amount of seam wear with a small separation on the spine. This all having been said the album has been priced accordingly. Album has been placed in a new Mofi sleeve. The album will be shipped in between cardboard with the vinyl outside of the jacket within a Whiplash record mailer. If you have any other questions please let me know and thanks for looking!
