Description: Vinyl was play tested through Focal Elegia's and it played as EX- (I range EX from 83-93) and the play was overall EX-, numerically an 84, less B1 that was a 75 relative to the first 20 seconds of the track (you can see the cutting is really wide and there is a mark there) where there is more surface noise but past that the track overall plays as an 84 as well. The primary issue is surface noise between tracks, at the intros and fade outs. Beyond that B1 and B3 each had what sounded like a missed dust fleck. A visual inspection does show a number of minor surface marks and based on this is scored as VG+. Despite these issues 100% for sure the vinyl is all there and sounds wicked good. The sleeve remains in the shrink and is scored as VG+. The most significant issue is the bump on the top left corner. Beyond that on the bottom right when looking at it from behind there is a bit of lift. The other corners show light wear along with four light creases, two running up from the bottom seam and two from the spine. The insert shows light wear, most noticeably within the top right area where there is some wrinkle. Straight on at the right angle it looks way better and the shrink almost makes the top left corner vanish. Almost. Album will be mailed in a cardboard mailer between cardboard with bubble wrap. If you have any questions please let me know and thanks for looking!
