Original 1987 Pressing!

I have had this in my collection since I bought it and it has been well cared for.
I just play tested it and would will grade the vinyl VG to VG+. There is minor surface noise between songs but usually not really audible during the songs unless very quiet, example during Perry's intro and bass only playing on "I Would for You" and in the runout at the end of the track, but having listened to records for 30 plus years does not bother me, just part of the experience, sounds great turned up loud. Jane Says is quiet and stunning! Side 2 is a strong VG+ where as Side 1 varies from VG to VG+.
The outer sleeve/cover is a solid if not slightly better VG+, no hint of ring wear, only real wear is typical shelf wear to a couple of corners, but the front artwork looks great and back is glossy black

 I try to be meticulous and grade all my records based on Goldmine standards as noted below:

 Mint (M) Vinyl

Absolutely perfect in every way. Certainly never been played,possibly even still sealed. Should be used sparingly as a grade, if at all.  

Near Mint (NM or M-) Vinyl

A nearly perfect record. A NM or M- record has more than likely never been played, and the vinyl will play perfectly, with no imperfections during playback. Many dealers won't give a grade higher than this implying(perhaps correctly) that no record is ever truly perfect. The record should show no obvious signs of wear. A 45 RPM or EP sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects, such as any sign of slight handling.An LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits, cut-out holes, or other noticeable similar defects. The same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, etc.  

Very Good Plus(VG+) Vinyl

A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Defects should be more of a cosmetic nature, not affecting the actual playback as a whole. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK". The label may have some ring wear or discoloration,but it should be barely noticeable. Spindle marks may be present. Picture sleeves and inner sleeves will have some slight wear, slightly turned-up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear, and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation, or cut corner. In general, if not for a couple of minor things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint.  

Very Good (VG) Vinyl

Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail)that will affect the sound. Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time.Goldmine price guides with more than one price will list Very Good as the lowest price. 

Good (G), Good Plus (G+) Vinyl 

A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be played through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise, scratches, and visible groove wear. A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape,writing, ring wear, or other defects will be present. While the record will be playable without skipping, noticeable surface noise and "ticks" will almost certainly accompany the playback.
