Superhype publishing credits

Sleeve Condition:

VG+ Not bad. Somewhere between VG and VG+ depending on how harsh you are. No tears anywhere so that's a good start

On the front I can count 7 lamination lines, there is a crease on the bottom left corner. There is some lamination lifting and darkening off the spine, and there is light beginning-of-ringwear visible at the top

The spine is a tad pinched but all the text is visible

On the rear I can again count several lamination lines and a crease bottom right corner. The spine creases are a bit more visible here

Vinyl Condition Visual:

Looking under a strong lamp there are just a few too many removal marks for me to grade any higher than VG. It still retains a lovely shine and hasn't been dulled by excessive scuffing. So very light removal marks, several (but not loads) non-feelable hairlines and some very light removal scuffs only. There are no horror feelable scratches or anything like that.

Vinyl Condition Playback:

I've listened to the album several times and although some light clicks are present, they're just soft clicks. I haven't ever thought 'ugh what's that?' i.e no horrible loud pops or hissing. Very very enjoyable. In my opinion it's VG+ but I'll let you make up your own mind- here is full audio of every song:
