Vinyl Play Back: VG-  Tics and surface noise are heard. Most apparent during quieter tracks. No skips.
Cover: G++ The cover is solid and remains perfectly intact.  There is gentle age yellowing which is the norm with this jacket.  The laminate is fully secure with no cracks.  A few surface laminate creases are seen but nothing egregious. There are no corner bumps or creases to the cover itself. There is faint ring wear w/no physical impression and a couple of general weathering blemishes.  The original owner carefully pressed their initials (BRD)into the upper front right corner without piercing the laminate itself. The spine is straight with its text fully legible. There are no seam splits or tears. These gatefolds were built to last.
Vinyl Visual: G Surface lines and scuffs on all sides.
Labels: EX- The proper 'KT' tax code is stamped on the Side 4 label. Labels are all clean with gentle spindle marks seen. There are incidental blemishes on the Side 1 label.
“An E.M.I. Recording” does not appear on ANY label
Original Black Inners: VG Both lay perfectly flat. Each has a bottom seam split and one has two notches at the label hole.
Poster: VG- Perfectly clean and intact.
Band Portraits: EX George has a mini soft fold at the top right corner. The original plain white spacer sheet is included.

Grading endeavors to be conservative. (Please see below for grading scale)
All open vinyl is shipped in a new poly-inner, and the album cover in a poly-sleeve.
Vinyl is cleaned on a VPI 16.5 machine and test played 'start-to-finish' prior to listing, unless otherwise noted.
'Vinyl Playback' will always address egregious audible concerns.   If you encounter any issues with your purchase, please contact me prior to leaving negative or neutral feedback.
My goal is your 100% complete satisfaction.

Vinyl Play Grades
M: Still sealed
M-: An opened item that appears 'M'. Virtually perfect playback.
NM: A few minor visual imperfections with virtually no audible impact. Top quality play.
EX: A few more surface marks than NM with very few audible imperfections. Quality play.
VG+: Surface scuffs and lines. Some light surface noise or a few tics or pops. Enjoyable play.
VG: Defined scuffs, lines, and scratches. More surface noise, tics, and pops than VG+. Acceptible play.
G: Heavy wear, deep scratches, with egregious surface noise, clicks, and pops. Poor play.
Hybrid Example:    Vinyl which is VG in appearance but plays NM. = Visual Grade: VG  Playback Grade: NM
The reverse may also occur.  = Visual Grade: NM  Playgrade: VG
Album covers are graded on a case by case basis given the myriad of issues which may impact each.
All grading is completely subjective and provided to the best of my ability.
