VinylVG
Both sides play with strong clear sound Side A appears VG+ except for a deep mark on track A2. Side B appears EX and plays pretty close to NM. Noting the following blemishes:
Side A intro, near end of A1 is tic that is audible but not especially overpowering, a deep scratch on track A2 can ge heard intermittently on A2 during a couple of the quieter sections, otherwise side A plays with strong clear sound.
Side B looks and sounds great, on track B3 there is a radial mark that might cause a skip, it's fairly subtle, the other marks on side B have not affect and the entire side plays with strong clear sound. This is a great sounding copy with George Piros mastering.
Writing on both labels, see photos.

Grading Records
are graded conservatively according to the industry standard Goldmine
Grading Scale. Depending on visual condition, records played on a Rega
RP8 fitted with a Hana ML cartridge. Audio clips available on request.
MINT (M)
Jacket sealed shut in shrink wrap; disc sold ungraded or "as is".
NEAR MINT (NM)
No signs of prior use. Plays perfectly.
Cover looks as if it just came from a store and was opened for the
first time. Often in shrink. Sharp corners, strong legible spine. No
surface wear or splits.
Vinyl is just shy of brand new looking. May have one or two visible
imperfections (i.e. sleeve scuffs, faint scratches, or other superficial
marks) that will not affect play.
Cover is just short of Near Mint. Corners, edges, and surfaces may show light wear.
A few visible imperfections. These may include sleeve scuffs, light scratches, or other superficial marks.
Cover with no significant ring-wear or staining. Seams are fully intact, and the spine is strong and readable.
Records graded VG+ and above will typically not have any scratches or
marks that are deep enough to be felt with a fingernail. Surface noise
may be present but will not be overpowering.
Cover is considered still 'frame-able' yet when observed closely may
have minor flaws, including light ring-wear, edge creases, or corner
wear. Edges and corners may show wear but there are no splits.
The presence of a considerable number of light scratches will force a
VG grade, as will the presence of significant isolated defects such as
scratches deep enough to be felt with a fingernail.
Cover shows obvious signs of use (i.e., surface wear, stains, creases, partial splits, worn edges).
