rca lm-2250 cover is nice, there's slight abrasion along top edge, back cover is white and clean and front slick is near perfect

rca light blue gray soft paper inner sleeve in nice shape

2s/1s shaded dog deep groove labels have spindle marks. Vinyl playing surfaces retain decent gloss, there are a number of light marks each side, few feelable, and that produce corresponding background crackle, light tics, tics and a few pops, please see play grade below for details. Record is rare, in any condition

play graded using a diamond stylus with tracking weight set at 1.7 grams:

light crackle leading in then @ 15 repeating tics from @ :14 to :45, then another random tics and some pops, quieting nearing the end of the first piece, with a last tic or two for good measure

the short second track a lot quieter, with only 9 or so random mostly light tics

third track continues this trend only 9 or so random mostly light tics , but there is a repeated tump that pops up along with a few tics during the second minute for @ 30 seconds

track 4 has 3 repeat tics in the first minute but otherwise ok  againonly 9 or so random mostly light tics

tics between tracks 4 and 5

a repeating tump appears at  @ 40 for about 12 seconds, disappears, briefly resurfaces, disappears, comes back again several times.  a pop about two minutes in, several tics right before end

track six has tump reappear at about 1:50 for a few revs, mostly quiet, another nine or so random light tics, a tic, maybe two

track seven: tump rears again @ :30 and runs through the next minute, goes, comes back for several revs.  actually fairly unobtrusive it's so low pitched. pop at 2:15 and only a few random light tics
snap crackle in runout loop

side 2

track 1:
2-3 tics in lead in to first track, followed by 4-5 random light tics, but nowhere near the fuss that started the first side.  a series @ 10 repeat tics at 1:15 to 1:30 then just @ 7 random light tics to end

 track 2: short cute piece, mostly quiet, 6 or so random light tics other than a quick 4 repeat tics at @ 1:37

track 3:

the longest passage on the album starts quiet then at :34 a quick succession of very light rapid tics to :41, aother passage of same at 1:50-54, another at 2:00-2:05.  a pop at 3:17 brief crackle at 5:06, a tic right at end, and in between, another 30-40, random light tics.  i enjoyed it, two more tracks to go..

track 4: 3 rapid tics at :36, then a passage of 4 repeating tics at :45, some random lights , then a passage of 10 repeating tics at 2:50 to end, the last few lessening

track 5 starts with a few tics then 5 repeated trikits at:12, then another 3 tics at :32, another 2 repeats 3:12, the rest of the track pretty quiet though!
