"Apollo  - Atmospheres & Soundtracks" by Brian Eno with Daniel Lanois and Roger Eno.  33rpm LP.  EditionsEG.  ENO5.
This LP has probably been played 5-7 times.  Played on my Project Perspective with an Ortofon OM30 cartridge.  My records are cleaned on a Record Doctor V machine.  Records will ship with Discwasher VRP record sleeves.
I listen to my albums so this is not just a "visual" grading.
As grading goes I would guess VERY GOOD (VG) for the cover which has some shelf wear.
I would grade the LP as VERY GOOD (VG).           (Few light visible scratches. There are some occasional clicks, pops and surface noise.  Maybe it needs a better record cleaning machine then I have?)

Matrix / Runout (Side A): ENO 5A  HUB Matrix / Runout (Side B): ENO5B  HUB Matrix / Runout (stamped both sides): STERLING

Shipping in the continental US via USPS media mail.  No international shipping.
(Media mail is running kind of slow currently.  If you are impatient I would suggest a Priority Mail at extra cost)

Record grading:
Poor (P) or Fair (F)

A P or F rating reflects a vinyl of poor condition. Discs withthese ratings often have major noise issues. They skip, repeat and revealscratching noises often. If you purchase vinyl with a P or F rating, expectbadly warped material. Frequently, these records are cracked or have deepscratches. Their covers are either badly damaged or destroyed completely.

Good (G)

While the term “good” might seem positive, a record carrying a Ggrade may still be of poor quality. Record enthusiasts often sell records oftop quality. If they’ve rated a record as Good, they may be picking up onundesirable condition traits. Frequently, a G-rated record is sold at a bargainprice. It’s useable, but it may have several scratches. Its music has light distortions.

Very Good (VG)

A VG-rated vinyl has experienced a lot of use. It’s still useable,but it’ll carry a few distortions. Ranked above a G-rated record, a VG-ratedrecord often carries light pops and clicks. It might have light visiblescratches, and it may have split edges. You can enjoy listening to a VG-ratedrecord, and you can use it as an artistic display, too. For the most part, aVG-rated record is undamaged. Upon closer inspection, however, its use will beapparent—both visually and audibly.

Very Good Plus (VG+)

The next step up, a VG+ record has little faults. It doesn’t,however, have compromised audio or visuals. A VG+ record may have severalinaudible marks and a little rub. Its audio may have slight background crackle.If you’ve come across a VG+ record, you’ve found a solid investment. As with aVG record, however, close inspection may reveal its age.

Excellent (E)

An Excellent record is similar to a VG+ record. Its light markswill be difficult to spot, however, as will be its audio distortions. A lot ofE-rated records have been in and out of their sleeve only a few times. Theirminute signs of use, generally, reflect high-quality care.

Near Mint (NM)

A Near Mint record is a fantastic investment. It looks glossy, andit’s clearly only been played several times. NM vinyl has little to nomarkings, and its package is either untouched or nearly untouched. Don’t expectto find any distortions on a NM record. In essence: A NM record is imperfectonly in its one-or-two-time use.

Mint (M)

A Mint record is perfect. It’s never been played, and it might’venever been removed from its package. It’s fully sealed, and it has no blemishesor audio distortions. Mint vinyl is rare, and it’s incredibly valuable.
