VG+ record / VG+ sleeve. Vinyl shows strong gloss with light hairlines, minimal dot scuffs, and faint sleeve scuffing on the outer perimeter. Playback on a test deck reveals typical light AFRTS surface noise, slightly heavier at the start of each side but quickly settling under the music. Side 2 contains a short cluster of faint rotational pops during Track 2 and a few rotational pops at the end of Track 4. No skips or tracking issues. Labels show even ink fade consistent with AFRTS low‑ink print runs, minor spindle fray, and handwritten “4.” Sleeve is VG+ with minimal wear, clean surfaces, and matching AFRTS markings. 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.
Grading Note: AFRTS transcription discs were utilitarian pressings intended for broadcast use. Light inherent noise and minor cosmetic anomalies are common even on clean examples or factory‑direct copies.
