Nice and shiny – Side 2 has a number (>5) of sleeve scuffs – which are not noticeable  or reproduced during playback.  Does not appear to be the original paper inner sleeve.  Please note: rating of disk is based on a visual inspection and playback of Side2.  Will ship record out of jacket to prevent any damage in shipment.

Gatefold slipcase jacket- overall excellent appearance - nice square corners -no shelf wear - 1/4" cut-out hole in upper right corner (which accounts for slightly lower rating) - impressed marks on back of jacket along seam.

My ratings for records strive to be simple, accurate, tend to be conservative,and are as follows.  Please note, if Ihave not recently played the record, my assessment is based solely on a visual inspection under a strong light, and obviously, my ratings could be out ofwhack.
For Disks:
Mint (M) - only used for sealed, aspurchased, and obviously, never played (but see note below on sealed records,if applicable). 
Excellent (EX): No scratches, skips, pops, clicks, scuffs, a clean,glossy surface - very little evidence of having been played – a clean glossysurface.
Good (G): a few short, shallow scratches producing pops or clicks but noskips, minor scuffing, overall clean, glossy surface.
Fair (F): minor scratches, scuffs, some manufacturing defects, no skips.
Poor (P): numerous scratches, scuffs - a few isolated skips (I willoffer records with a small number of skips only if the item is somewhat rare -and the skip may be “worked around” with better playback equipment than Ihave).
ForRecord Jackets:
Mint(M) -sealed, shrink wrapped, as purchased and no cut-out hole, notches, slits,straight clipped corners, circular clipped corners, metal ferrule inserts,clean edged hole, ragged edged hole, under shrink wrap damage, labels,stickers, bumped or smushed corners, bends, creases, nothing, nada, zip.
Excellent (EX): May have shrink wrap and may be sealed, no writing, wearrings, bends, a clean surface, may have cut-out or hole punched through cover
Good (G): clean, no writing, minor staining, small amount of disk/shelfwear - some defects that may be found under shrink wrap
Fair (F): minor staining, wear, or writing, minor splits on seams
Poor (P): major staining, wear, and/or writing, seam(s) split (offeredat auction only if the item is somewhat rare)

Please note that I only do minimal cleaning of records and recommend that thebuyer clean and/or repair the record or jacket according to theirpreference.  My records have been storedfor an extended period of time in a cool, dry, basement and may have some finedirt or dust on its surface and static buildup, especially records that havebeen played before.  I usually wipe theouter jacket and disk with a damp lint-free cloth.  This is not a deep groove cleaning of the disk and thereusually is some small buildup of dust and static on the vinyl’s surface.  I usually catch my fingerprints.
