Vinyl was play tested through Focal Elegia's and it played as EX, I numerically scored the audio a 90. Overall it played with very very little surface noise, more noticeable during a couple fade outs and track transitions with one noticeable click (nothing super distracting and not a pop/loud tick) during A5 (Stranger Eyes).  The VG+ rating is based on the visual inspection which reveals a number of surface marks and honestly it looks like it will not play as well as it does but Japanese vinyl is indestructible so here we are; this is one my personal favorite albums and you will not be disappointed with the sound quality which is super close to playing NM-
The sleeve is scored as EX but is probably closer to EX- (but 100% better than VG+).  There is light wear within the corners and within the seams, a couple of faint creases and the OBI shows wear along the bottom of that seam.  There is discoloration to the inserts which I have attempted to capture in the pictures.  Based on the issues I am scoring the sleeve an 85.
Album will be mailed in a cardboard mailer between cardboard with bubble wrap.  If you have any questions please let me know and thanks for looking!
