Grading 

Vinyl - NM

The vinyls look absolutely beautiful. Nice shine to each side and both sit perfectly flat on turntable, no wobbles or rolling lifts. When placing the needle on the record for the first time there is no awful crackle or loud continuous hiss. The audio is not superb. Some very soft/minor static between tracks can just be heard but as expected, no hiss/crackle at all. Loud and punchy audio, great dynamics, great pressing. Plays through superbly and without issue.

Sleeve - 

No rips or seam splits. Razor Straight edges and spine. Laminated sleeve front and back, cardboard inside. A few small/soft creases in laminate but barley noticeable. No rips or seem splits here at all. Gatefold opens and closes perfectly. A pristine sleeve. 

Labels - NM

No rips. No writing. Clean and bright.
