Vinyl - VG+ Vinyl for the most part is excellent and sounds fantastic I can see why this pressing is sort after. There is no skips or jumps and very little, if at all, crackle. There is a scratch along the first track on side 2 (Shes Lost Control) which is initially audible but the music mostly overpowers it as the song plays hence the VG+ grade.
Sleeve - EX Please see pics. Excellent all round sleeve. The textured sleeve has a fully readable spine. Tight intact seams. No writing rips or tears. Some slight marks on front.
Inner Sleeve - EX Probably one of the best Ive seen if this inner. Excellent condition. See pics.
Grading Definition
Mint (M): The record is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound. The cover and any extras are also perfect.
- Near Mint (NM or M-): A nearly perfect record. It has likely never been played and shows only the most minimal signs of handling.
- Excellent (Ex): The record shows some signs of having been played, but there's very little loss in sound quality. Packaging may show slight wear.
- Very Good Plus (VG+): Shows signs of being played and handled, but with good care. Defects are mostly cosmetic and don't affect playback.
- Very Good (VG): The record has been played many times and shows more wear than a VG+. Surface noise and light scratches are more pronounced.
- Good (G or G+): Playable without skipping, but sound quality has noticeably deteriorated. Expect significant surface noise, scratches, and potentially distortion.
- Fair (F) / Poor (P): The record is badly warped or damaged, won't play through without skipping, or is otherwise unplayable
