Only a tiny amount of light surface noise was heard elsewhere. No skips, repeating grooves, or significant pops during testing.Vinyl shows some light cosmetic handling marks/hairlines visible under strong lighting, as pictured, but these do not significantly affect playback.Cover: VGOriginal jacket presents well overall but shows normal age/storage wear. The clear outer laminate/plastic coating is lifting and peeling in areas, particularly on the front/right side.
