Album was play tested through Focal Elegia's and it played as EX, with the A side an 88 and the B side a 91 and this was relative to the degree of surface noise, more noticeable between tracks, a bit at the start of A1, on the quieter tracks (A3), along with what sounded like a missed fleck of dust and a mark at the fade out area of A5 that caused 4 light noises (not pop or ticking but you'll hear it). The B side played with less surface noise overall. Really driving the VG+ grade is the visual inspection revealing a number of light surface marks (beyond the end of A5). I've beat it up a bit on the write up but the vinyl has it all where it counts and sounds wicked good.
The sleeve is scored an 83 which I consider the bottom of the EX spectrum. Driving the grade are the right corners which I have attempted to capture in the pictures along with light wear along the opening seam. Beyond that I saw no issues of significance. You can see the wrinkle wear to the original paper sleeve (vinyl has since been placed in a MOFI sleeve). The sleeve is in shrink and honestly I would cut the small price stickers off of the shrink and put the sleeve in a frame because it will look as wicked good as the vinyl sounds.
Album will be mailed between cardboard and bubble wrap in a reinforced cardboard mailer. If you have any other questions please let me know and thanks for looking!
