Visually the record looks pretty rough. 2 obvious non feelable scratches on side 1 and lots of small marks and hairlines under bright light. Lots of spindle wear around the spindle hole. Visually grades around G+. It’s been fully play tested and plays remarkably well. A little background crackle in a few spaces between tracks only and this is minimal. None of the scratches cause any issues such as clicking. The music is really clear and crackle free throughout except for 3 very soft pops on “Can’t Buy Me Love” with a bit grime stuck in the grooves. Honestly sounds pretty good and the play grade is at least VG+. No loud pops, clicks, no sticks, jumps or warping.

The sleeve is VG- to VG. Light discolouration/handling wear on the rear. The “A” from the title has been partially torn off with a sticker removal and name written in biro. Some wear the the flip backs on the rear too (see photos). However it’s intact and doesn’t look too bad either.

The original inner is EX

Overall the vinyl looks pretty rough but actually plays really well.
