I do not have a means to play this record, but with a visual inspection, I would grade this record a NM using the Goldmine Grading Guide. See below if you are unfamiliar with this grading guide.

Take a look at my other listings. I will combine shipping.If you have any questions, please ask before purchasing.

The Goldmine Grading Guide states:

NEAR MINT (NM OR M-) NM records are shiny, with no visible defects. Writing, stickers or other markings cannot appear on the label, nor can any spindle marks from someone trying to blindly put the record on the turntable. Major factory defects also must be absent; a record andlabel obviously pressed off center is not Near Mint. If played, it will do so with no surface noise. (NM records dont have to be never played a record used on an excellent turntable can remain NM after many plays if the disc is properly cared for.)

VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) or EXCELLENT (E) VG+ records may show some slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK. Minor signs of handling are OK, too, such as telltale marks aroundthe center hole, but repeated playing has not misshapen the hole. There may be some very light ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable.

Very Good (VG) VG records have more obvious flaws than their counterparts in better shape. They lack most of the original gloss found on factory-fresh records. Groove wear is evident on sight, as are light scratches deep enough to feel with a fingernail. When played, a VGrecord has surface noise, and some scratches may be audible, especially in soft passages and during a songs intro and ending. But the noise will not overpower the music otherwise.
