GRADING (also refer photos)

Original EMI Sleeve:

VG++ looks highly acceptable despite moderate handling wear (light creasing).

Record:

visual: beautiful glossy sheen despite NUMEROUS scuffs - mainly hairlines, but also a few light surface scratches which are superficial for the most part (heavier scratch can be felt through mid-section of “Dog Eat Dog“) (seen under strong light) (side 1: G+, side 2: VG-).  IMPOSSIBLY RARE IN ANY CONDITION - GOOD LUCK TRYING TO FIND ANOTHER!

audible: VG- PUNCHY and VIBRANT SOUND despite some surface noise/crackle/intermittent light pops (music still dominates though!).  I was listening for any major sound imperfections on side 1, but could only hear a few light clicks from 0:30 to 0:36 (6 seconds!) as stylus passes over.  DEFINITELY NO JUMPS OR SKIPS!

labels: HARDLY ANY SPINDLE WEAR (side 1), light spindle wear (side 2).
