This record is NOT and has NO scratches, only 3 or 4 VERY light hairlines, only 3 or 4 VERY light scufflines, and only a few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK!!!!  It is GREAT to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY (if not BETTER) as the visual with NO pops, NO jumps, NO sticks, NO hiss, and barely ANY crackle!!!!  The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!!  This single must grade Very Good+ and plays BRILLIANTLY!!!!  Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!!  I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!!
