The vinyl looks VG+ and plays very well with nice clean audio - no jumps or sticks, no significant crackle. There is a small light scratch on the first track that is barely audible and on side 2 another that generates some clicks in the tracks 1/2 gap followed by a few more mild clicks into track 2. Apart from those and a little groove wear it’s pretty well unmarked and the rest of album plays superbly with no issues. Clean labels with just a few spindle marks.
The vinyl has been cleaned on my pro-ject VC-S cleaning machine using non-alcohol based fluid and is now stored in a new anti static lined inner.
The front laminated flipback sleeve is in VG+ condition, it’s clean, minimal edge wear / creasing, nice fully legible spine, no fraying to the opening. The only flaws are some small white lines from loss of the black print on the front where it had been stored pressed against flipbacks of another lp.

Happy to combine postage.

-----------------
Gradings refer to the UK Record Collector Magazine standard (shown below). I would only use "mint" for genuinely unplayed records. Visual grading is done under a spotlight. Play testing is done on my Pro-ject or Rega turntable.
If buyer is not satisfied for any reason please contact me, I will refund on safe return of item.
Record will be packaged in a proper mailer with stiffening. I will pack with the record removed from the outer sleeve.
Mint (M) - The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet. booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records marked as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
Excellent (EX) - The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
Very Good (VG) - The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects is acceptable
Good (G) - The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc
