The record is in very good condition, although there are a number of surface marks to each side some causing 'clicks' the vinyl has a good sheen.
Labels in excellent condition with no stickers or writing etc and only light spindle marks. Sleeve is also in very good condition with only light age wear.

Grading Info:
Mint (M) - Absolutely perfect in every way. Certainly never been played,
possibly even still sealed. Should be used sparingly as a grade, if at all.
Near Mint (NM or M-) - A nearly perfect record. A NM- record has more than likely never
been played, and the vinyl will play perfectly, with no imperfections during
playback. Many dealers won't give a grade higher than this implying (perhaps
correctly) that no record is ever truly perfect. The record should show no
obvious signs of wear. A 45 RPM or EP sleeve should have no more than the most
minor defects, such as any sign of slight handling. An LP cover should have no
creases, folds, seam splits, cut-out holes, or other noticeable similar
defects. The same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric
sleeves, etc.
Very Good Plus (VG+) - A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played
and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Defects
should be more of a cosmetic nature, not affecting the actual playback as a
whole. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs
or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight
warps that do not affect the sound are "OK". Low surface noise may be
evident upon playing at start or between tracks, but will not impact on the
music. The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be
barely noticeable. Spindle marks may be present. Picture sleeves and inner
sleeves will have some slight wear, slightly turned-up corners, or a slight
seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear, and may be marred by a
cut-out hole, indentation, or cut corner. In general, if not for a couple of
minor things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint.
Very Good (VG) - Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced
in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, (such as occasional
cyclical pops and audible crackle/hiss), especially in soft passages and during
a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove
wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel
with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Labels may be marred by writing,
or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of
picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems
at the same time. Goldmine price guides with more than one price will list Very
Good as the lowest price.
Good (G), Good Plus (G+) - A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be played through
without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise, scratches, and
visible groove wear. A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the
bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear, or other defects will be
present. While the record will be playable without skipping, noticeable surface
noise and "ticks" will almost certainly accompany the playback.
Poor (P), Fair (F) - The record is cracked, badly warped, and won't play through without
skipping or repeating. The picture sleeve is water damaged, split on all three
seams and heavily marred by wear and writing. The LP cover barely keeps the LP
inside it. Inner sleeves are fully split, crinkled, and written upon.
