Please note: all vinyl is visually graded, not play graded. Grades reflect careful examination under light and represent our honest assessment of condition. Minor pressing defects or surface noise consistent with age may be present and are not always visible to the naked eye.

As with all vintage records, minor signs of age and handling are to be expected and are reflected in the grading above.
