GRADING (also refer photos)

Record:

VG- visual: numerous mainly light surface scuffs, however there are also a few light scratches; audible: some underlying surface noise (more evident on Side B) & occasional light pops—has obviously been played a lot, but THE OVERALL SOUND IS STILL PUNCHY AND VIBRANT.  The first half of Side A clicks as the stylus passes over, however despite this flaw, the sound is still acceptable.  COMPLETELY FREE OF ANY JUMPS OR SKIPS ; labels: light spindle wear.
