Rush - Power Windows 1985 Vinyl Record LP synth rock heavy metal prog
record grade: EX sleeve grade: VG+
The record is very clean with virtually no surface noise upon playback. It sounds fantastic.

The jacket has some light creasing, corner wear, a couple corner bumps, a bump on the top edge, and the beginnings of very light ring wear. The creasing is mostly centered around the top left corner (or right corner if you're looking at the back cover where the creasing is most prominent). There's also a bump on the edge that opens and some light creasing of the custom inner sleeve. Please see pictures.

I grade LPs based on a conservative interpretation of the Goldmine standard. This means that a VG+ record is in very nice shape and should have little to no surface noise barring an occasional moment here and there. A record with sustained surface noise will be at best a VG. All records are play-graded since not all surface noise can be detected visually. All records are shipped in new Whiplash mailers with cardboard backing with the sleeved record outside of the jacket to prevent seam splits.

Below is more thorough info on my grading system:

NM: Surfaces essentially look new. This is the highest rating I give used records.
VG+: Very nice shape. May have a few stray very light hairlines and/or light paper scuffs visible under bright light. Will have little to no surface noise barring an occasional moment here and there. No feelable marks.
VG: Has hairlines and/or paper scuffs and has audible surface noise particularly between songs and during quieter passages.
G+: Has more pronounced hairlines and paper scuffs and may have a few small feelable marks, but still no skips.
