AC/DC - Let There Be Rock

Original 1977 Australian 1st Issue 12" LP Vinyl Record Albert Productions APLP-034

Blue Albert Productions labels, with the elusive kangaroo.
The original heavy card 1st issue cover is VG
The labels are both VG+ (light spindle trails close to the hole, only really seen under direct light)

The original heavy card 1st issue cover is VG (Otherwise VG+, but there is a numbered sticker on the front that looks to me like it is covering up something, but it is firmly in place on a non laminated surface, and in my experience, it is not coming off without causing even worse damage)

The vinyl is NM / VG I have graded the vinyl overall as VG+, being a compromise between the 2 sides, with side one being NM and side two is VG.

Side 1 - Near Mint.
Faultless audio, with quiet dead-wax.

Side 2 - VG
Has some small scuffed spots on the surface, that do result in 2 or 3 singular light tics for each spot.

I can't be certain, but these spots look like tiny pinholes in the surface of the vinyl, which are all at the centre of the scuffed spots, so these areas look to have been worked on, to reduce / remove interference from these pinholes (most likely) caused by a failed stamper separation, or a contaminant on the vinyl surface.

Being tiny pinholes, the light tics are mostly only over 2 or 3 revolutions, with just a couple going to 4, and a couple with none, or 1.
There are 12 spots, and 28 light tics
The spots are not obvious under normal light, but are seen under direct light. (see the pics) The rest of the vinyl plays with no other interference, and none of the tics are loud or ugly, they are all quite light and soft.
Side 1 Plays with no interference, and is Near Mint Side 2 plays 96% NM / clean and perfect revolutions, and 4% with a singular light tic, and is Very Good
(calculated that 7 revolutions (7 tics) is 1% of a 21 minute record at 33.33 revolutions per minute.
None of the tics are loud or ugly, they are all quite light and soft and do not interfere for anything longer than a few seconds, none are ugly or overly intrusive to the audio, and overall, it plays 98% Near Mint.
