Original first mono press! The sleeve has some general surface wear but overall very nice. There's virtually no edgewear except the two bottom corners. The right corner has a bump, the left corner has some slight tearing, creasing, and staining - but it's barely visible as you can see in the pictures. The vinyl has some visible marks but nothing feelable and nothing incredibly obvious. Side 1 plays great throughout - some minor crackling here and there but for the most part sounds like a VG+ record.

Side 2 has some more crackling and some tics (not too many and not too loud) during the first two tracks, but then mostly plays great throughout all of Sinner Man - which is the track you need this for! Overall I'd said the vinyl looks VG and sounds between VG and EX depending on the spot.


Check my other auctions for more rare records of all genres, I usually do not rely on traditional grading systems and will instead describe with words to the best of my ability the condition of the record, I like to think that I am a conservative greater, and very picky about the condition of records. Records are shipped in cardboard mailers with plenty of packing and records outside of sleeves to prevent seam splits. I ship by Media Mail unless requested. Please ask any questions!
