Notes: Media sounds nice, some crackling, but it tapers off. Light scratches and scuffs are visible, but do not affect play. Side B label is pushed back a little from the center hole in one spot. Outer sleeve is in good shape. Some light ring, corner, and spine wear. Would be VG+ if not for a torn section on the bottom edge (not split though). Original inner sleeve looks really nice and clean, but has partial seam splits. Overall a solid VG copy!

Grading:
All records are play graded! As a fellow collector, I grade conservatively. I aim to describe the items I list here as well as possible. If you have any questions about condition of an item or anything else, please feel free to ask. I follow the Goldmine grading system:
Mint (M)  Absolutely perfect in every way. Never played, possibly even still sealed (SS). Near Mint (NM or M-)   A nearly perfect record. Shows no obvious signs of wear. Cover has no creases, folds, seam splits, cut-out holes or other noticeable similar defects. 
Very Good Plus (VG+) Shows some signs that it was played, but was obviously taken good care. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs, very light scratches, or slight warps that do not affect the listening experience. Label may have some ring wear or discoloration, though barely noticeable. Sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turned up corners, or a slight seam split. Cover may have slight signs of wear also.  Very Good (VG)   Many of the defects found in a VG+ record are more pronounced. Surface noise may be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches that will affect the sound.  Labels and sleeves may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them. Good (G), Good Plus (G+) Good does not mean Bad! Record can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping. However, it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear. Sleeves will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will be present. Poor (P), Fair (F)   The record is cracked, badly warped, and won't play through without skipping or repeating. Sleeves have water damage, splits on all three seams and are heavily marred by wear and writing.
