Audio Test - with Audio Technica Deck & Studio Monitor Speakers 

Quiet intros and Gaps between tracks have VIRTUALLY NO background noise, a few very short light crackles, no skips.  Overall the songs sound outstanding  - very bright and clear and can be enjoyed without background noise. For a 31 year old LP its outstanding and has been very well cared for.   Guessing this was played a handful of times and very carefully handled.

Relatively small number of VERY LIGHT hairline marks on each side when looking carefully - the kind of marks left by light playing and very little, Vinyl has definitely been well cared for.  No deep scratches
