VG record / VG sleeve. Vinyl shows strong gloss with multiple light hairlines and dot scuffs, some of which produce rotational pops. Playback reveals consistent light surface noise typical of early AFRTS thick‑stock pressings. Side 1 has several short rotational pops across Tracks 2–6, mostly faint and likely tied to dot scuffs. Side 2 has similar faint rotational and random pops across all tracks, many blending with the music. No skips or tracking issues were observed. Labels show minor staining, ridge wear, and handwritten “499” on Side 1. Sleeve is VG with light staining, small tears at the opening, and minimal ring wear; no seam splits. Playback may vary depending on equipment; sold as‑is.
Photo Note: Any circular “ring” visible in images is only a reflection from the ring light used during photography. It is not present on the record or sleeve itself.
Grading Note: AFRTS transcription discs are unique non‑commercial utilitarian pressings, often showing quirks from their service use and occasional factory flaws. These discs commonly exhibit light inherent noise and minor cosmetic anomalies even on clean examples, and they frequently play best on higher‑end equipment.
