Play grading means we did not rate it visually, whether that is gorgeous or ugly, but by how it sounds.

We have professionally cleaned this record with a record cleaning machine and we are listening to this album as we grade it. The sound is excellent with just some light surface noise.

Please do not purchase this record if you are going to pick apart the visual. The visual aspects have nothing to do with the rating. If you want an album that is graded by visual rather than sound, there are plenty available on E-Bay and you take your chances with the sound.
