Record: Mint Visually shows no wear. Played only a very few times with care. 2 or 3 tiny surface rub marks that are barely visible and do not affect the sound. There are 3 or 4 very light clicks at the beginning of Track 1, Side A. And a few clicks on Track 4, Side A. All are barely audible and may be in the pressing. Fine sound and qualtiy, close to Mint. Audibly checked.
