Vinyl VG+

Cover VG+
Jacket is in excellent shape, with light surface and edge wear, No splits, strong readable spine. Overall excellent condition. Original Atlantic inner sleeve included.
ADDED 1/26/21 in response to a question from an interested buyer who asked about the sound quality of this LP. This particular copy has some light marks and does show signs of prior use, and plays with slight surface occasional noise audible during some of the slower/quieter parts, hence the VG+ grade.
I have given a detailed play grade for you as I heard it on my gear
Runins and runouts on both sides play clear
A1: very slight crackle during quieter/slower parts
Between tracks A2 and A3 one light tic
A4 quieter slower parts of this track I can hear very faint light crackle, plays almost perfectly clear, near the end of the side before it gets loud again, the record is nearly dead silent
Side B plays almost perfectly clear, with a tiny bit of infrequent crackle in a couple places. Very end of track B3 is quieter and there is a bit of mild surface noise, track B4 drums play with strong clear sound. B5 sounds great.
Overall, I can hear no rotational tics and the LP lies nearly perfectly flat. I can hear a little bit of light surface noise here and there but nothing is close to overpowering or repeating. Visually it is a strong VG+, sounds and tracks Excellent. This record has extremely high audio fidelity. Over the years, I’ve heard many versions of the LZII RL (the Terra Haute, SRC, Presswell, Monarch, even the German issued version from 1973 which used the original US 1969 metal stampers). The Monarch is the best I've heard.
Each record is ultrasonically cleaned to provide optimal sound quality.

MINT (M) Jacket sealed shut in shrink wrap; disc sold ungraded or "as is".
NEAR MINT (NM)
No signs of prior use. Plays perfectly.
Cover looks as if it just came from a store and was opened for the first time. Often in shrink. Sharp corners, strong legible spine. No surface wear or splits.
Vinyl is just shy of brand new looking. May have one or two visible imperfections (i.e. sleeve scuffs, faint scratches, or other superficial marks) that will not affect play.
Cover is just short of Near Mint. Corners, edges, and surfaces may show light wear.
A few visible imperfections. These may include sleeve scuffs, light scratches, or other superficial marks.
Cover with no significant ring-wear or staining. Seams are fully intact, and the spine is strong and readable.
Records graded VG+ and above will typically not have any scratches or marks that are deep enough to be felt with a fingernail. Surface noise may be present but will not be overpowering.
Cover is considered still 'frame-able' yet when observed closely may have minor flaws, including light ring-wear, edge creases, or corner wear. Edges and corners may show wear but there are no splits.
The presence of a considerable number of light scratches will force a VG grade, as will the presence of significant isolated defects such as scratches deep enough to be felt with a fingernail.
Cover shows obvious signs of use (i.e., surface wear, stains, creases, partial splits, worn edges).
