DISC: NM- with a super clean surface, one or two barely noticeable hairlines. Very quiet bold playback. There are a few wispy sleeve scuffs in the deadwax area on both sides, I imagine they are from paper scuffs, not needle work. To be on the safe side I'll grade the playback VG++, because I'm trying to be super conservative here. The visual presentation of this album is borderline immaculate aside from the scuffs in the dead wax. Very clean, hardly if ever played. If you've followed my account, you will know that I hardly ever hand out a NM grade at all, super rare for me to step up to this level of grading. This LP is clean!
COVER: VG+ with a "FREE" perforated hole punch in the top right corner, signifying a promo copy. Artwork is dark and glossy with a few random scuffs to the cover. Some very minor wear to the spines from shelf wear (mostly bottom spine), title spine is dark clean and legible. Some very light ring wear to the cover. The title spine has the original old school "Stereophonic" boxed label on it. The original blank white inner sleeve is present with the "FREE" stamped through it as well. Complete original pressing.
DISC GRADE CHART:
NM (NEAR MINT) with at the most a couple light faint fine shallow hairs on both sides. Almost all of original luster remains, labels are mostly clean. There will be some very very light (minimal) background noise occasionally during playback, if any at all! Clean bold audio. I hardly ever had this grade out, unless record truly deserves it. Seriously only 3% or less of all vintage vinyl ever produced is still this clean!
EX(VG++) with just a few light faint fine shallow hairs on both sides, possibly some paper scuffs, some minimal groove wear from play. Most of the luster remains, labels are mostly clean. There will be some very light background noise occasionally during playback with mostly clean bold audio. Any background noise will be heard during quiet passes, in between tracks, and on intro and dead waxes.
COVER GRADING CHART:
NM (NEAR MINT) with NO to light fade and NO ring wear. No evidence of creases or light scrape marks around cover art from handling. NO corner bends. All spines are crisp and intact with NO shelf wear fray, title spine perfectly clean and legible with NO fray patches and wear. I hardly ever hand this grade out, reserved for any vintage vinyl cover that is still in almost perfect shape!
EX(VG++) with minimal fade or ring wear. Some very light creases and light scrape marks around cover art from handling, some very minor corner bends. All spines are mostly 100% intact with minimal shelf wear fray, title spine mostly clean and legible with none to very minor, fray patches and wear.
VG+ with light fade and light to moderate ring wear. Some creases and light scrape marks around cover art from handling, some minor corner bends. All spines are mostly 100% intact with no, to very minimal, shelf wear fray, title spine mostly legible with no, to very minimal, fray patches and wear. To me the most important aspect of a VG+ grade is the appearance of the artwork. Spines may have some small issues.
