Vinyl is in very good condition, examined carefully using a halogen light source and I can see a few VERY light scratches only. I have then played both sides of the album - absolutely no issues with surface noise. Sure there is very low level surface noise during the quiet passages and the occasional click/pop but this does not hinder the listening experience - stand out music, hard to pick a favourite as they are all great songs!
New outer protective sleeve
