New plastic inner sleeve
Vinyl is in good (minus) condition, visually inspected under a bright white halogen light source and I can see a few light marks and some light scratches on either side, it looks to me that this vinyl has seen a bit of play time and not all that well cared for. I have given it a couple of cleans on the Monk, which improved the sound after each clean but still not a nice clean playback. Just looking at the vinyl is not a very good way to judge it's condition so I then played the ENTIRE release, both sides.
Overall the playback is good but there is a persistent surface noise present, meaning a light click here or a pop there - just very short duration surface noise and certainly not the dreaded "click click click" from a decent scratch. Vinyl is flat so at least it was stored properly! Overall it is a good SLOW beat funk/soul RnB playback but not the very best sound quality due to that surface noise which pops up at times.
