I have played the album fully through and it sounds brilliant.

It is very clear and punchy and seems almost like CD.

I think I could grade this as Excellent, but a couple of imperfections from new would probably make this more a VG+.

At the very leading to the first track there is a slight warp (not seen) which makes about two light rumble noises before the first track begins, then all is perfect.

Visually, I can see there are some surface marks (they don't manifest audio-wise at all) I have enhanced a photo to show up the marks clearly (they don't stand out that much in real life)

Visually, in the middle of the first track there is a mark (little dot) which was there from new. Audio wise, this makes a subtle one click that is almost hard to hear in song. This was an imperfection which was there from brand new but you would never even notice it.

Side 2 has a slight click for the first few revolutions between tracks 1 and 2 (small scratch can be seen with a magnifying glass)

The inner red sleeve looks perfect

The cover is a gloss white and is in good condition, but on the surface of the back it is covered in what looks like old spores. I have tried to show these in the photos. They are obviously from a long time ago when it was in storage.

From the sound point of view I would grade it as VG+ (excellent in all honesty) and visually I would grade it VG.
