Vinyl was play tested through Focal Elegia's and it played as EX. I numerically score the vinyl a 91 with the only issues being A3 which plays more like a 89 (this track is always lower than the rest of the album for some reason, I've had a few of these now and it's always the same thing) and B2 which is a 89 (same here) along with what sounded like a missed dust fleck on B3 and B6. Overall it pretty close to NM-. The visual inspection on the A-side is more like EX- with the B side as EX and this is relative to the degree of surface marks.
The sleeve is scored as VG+. There are moderate bumps on the top and bottom corners, a few creases running in from the seams, a discoloration area within the top left corner, a separation on the top seam along with light ring wear visible on angles. The inserts show only light wear. Numerically it's a solid 80.
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!
