Vinyl was play tested through Focal Elegia's and it played as EX+, I numerically scored the audio a 93 (I range EX from 83-93 and this was as close to a 94 anyway as could be) with the primary issue being a tiny bit of surface noise at the start and between tracks; overall it sounds about as good as could be. Visually I saw a couple of tiny marks on the B-side but even with that it still visually NM- however based on the play I am scoring it EX.  It's the best EX copy in existence. 
The sleeve is scored EX and numerically a solid 90.  Straight on it really looks better with the most noticeable issue a 6mm pinch crease on the bottom left corner running through the OBI. The other corners show only light wear.  Running in from the spine are a pair of creases however I cannot move the OBI over any further to confirm the length.  On angles you can see a total of four impressions, a pair running down from the top seam and two across the baby face with the longest at 18mm.  You'll have to look for these things. The insert shows only very light wear.
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!
