The record was played on a Rega Planar 6 and sounds great. There is light crackle during the quieter parts, however, there are no skips or jumps. There are a few superficial marks on the vinyl as seen in the photos, but they do not affect play.


There is ring wear towards the top of the front and back of the cover with light creasing on the spine. Also the inner sleeve does have separation as seen in the photos.


This record will be shipped via USPS. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or reasonable offers.


Thanks for looking!
