Aimee Mann "Lost in Space" Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab MFSL 1-278 Audiophile 180g High Definition Vinyl LP in excellent condition, close to near mint (NM) condition. The jacket is also close to NM condition (a few small stains on the inside of the gatefold), with sharp corners. Special Limited Edition number: 01008. Original Master Recording using the MFSL Gain 2 Ultra Analog proprietary cutting system. Half Speed Mastered from the Original Master Recording Tapes. 
I cleaned the record on my VPI Cyclone record cleaning machine today (11/11/2024). I use MFSL Super Record Wash and MFSL cleaning brushes. I put the record inside a brand new audiophile Diskeeper (Sleeve City) sleeve. Looking at the record at an angle and under a bright light, I can see on side 2 a couple of swirl marks on the otherwise pristine vinyl. I believe it is from the factory pressing process. I never noticed them before. They are only visible under a bright light and at an angle. It does not affect playing on my audio system at all. I bought this record new in 2002 (or 2003). I have played it only 2-3 times on my audiophile turntable with an audio-technica moving coil cartridge. I always drop or lift the stylus very carefully on the blank vinyl areas of the record, never on the grooves. I always lift the record straight up with the turntable sopped, never while it's spinning. I carefully put the record back on its sleeve after playing it. I'm almost 100% sure those marks are from the pressing process. They are only visible, not audible.
The protective cardboard inner jacket has age stains, especially on the inside. I guess they didn't use acid-free paper.
