Visually under very bright light the vinyl has a number of faint light play traces, and light sleeve removal paper scuff traces, (Visually VG+). The record has been cleaned on my Okki Nokki machine and plays crisp, bright, bold and punchy. There is a little minor surface noise/ slight vocal distortion here and there, occasional static ticks. Plays with no real audio flaws, a great copy and a very enjoyable audio experience. Audio: EX-/EX
