• Graded VERY CRITICALLY under VERY bright spotlight + test play. Pics show item under bright spotlights. 
• Cleaned by hand using high grade cleaning fluid (L'arc du Son), distilled water and suitable cleaning cloths. 

Vinyl Surfaces - VG+

• Visual Inspection/Bright Light: Lots of light hairline marks on each side when looking carefully - the kind of marks left by cleaning with a cloth and general handling with an album played lots of times. No deep scratches, no major marks. 

• Visual Inspection - Bright Daylight: Looks near mint. 

• Audio Test - with budget deck and Audio Technica Studio headphones. Gaps between tracks have some audible light crackles. Once the songs start these cannot be heard unless on a really quiet part of a song or on the fade-outs. Overall the songs sound bright and clear and can be enjoyed without any major background noise.
