Vinyl is hard to grade, it has a fair amount of light surface marks/light scratching, nothing deep. There is however a small edge-warp which causes the stylus to jerk a little on the first 15 or so rotations (both sides). The warp does not cause the LP to skip or distort, but it is quite noticable (I'm playing this on a Music Hall MMF 2.1 turntable). Vinyl plays with spots of background surface noise and scattered ticks and small pops mostly on the first track of side 1 and at the end of track 1, side 2. Still a satisfying listening experience despite these flaws, they do not overpower the listening experience. I guess I'll be conservative and grade it at VG.Cover is VG, ring-wear 3 inch seam split on upper right corner and considerable corner and spine-wear.
Ahh, the endeavors people make to make something out of nothing....Does this sound like VG to you?
