Very Good – Record shows signs of being used and can include surface scratches but any damage does not distract away from the overall listening experience. Older records will have surface noise and crackling but wherever possible we will say in the description.
The cover, inner sleeve, and any posters etc. may have slight wear, creasing, tears, press marks and rubbing.
Any unstuck glued edges will be left so the cover will still be original.
