Condition: (as Record Collector’s grading system)
Vinyl side 1: very good (has a few noticeable superficial marks like the one in photo that do not affect the audio in any way, plays excellent with no jumps, sticks or clicks and minimal crackle, name and initials written on label).
Vinyl side 2: very good (has a few noticeable superficial marks like the one in photo that do not affect the audio in any way, plays excellent with no jumps, sticks or clicks and minimal crackle).
Cover (front laminated, flipback): good (has a few laminate creases mainly around the edges, light corner wear, small, tear at opening edge front and back [see photos], name written and a bit of damage to bottom flip-back on back [see photos], light aging).
I have tried to give my honest opinion as to the condition. I will give a complete refund to the buyer if they are not happy with the record on it’s return.
Any questions, don’t hesitate to ask.

RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING SYSTEM:
MINT: I very rarely use the mint grade. Only records that are still sealed or records that even under the strongest of lights are completely unmarked. Also covers that are unmarked/uncreased in any way and still look brand new.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is no lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.
FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.  1736 (GS 9.9.5 (1736))
