No spindle trails on either side. Both sides are in immaculate condition all around. VINYL RECORD NM: If there is so much as a scratch or blemish on either side of this album, I couldn't find it. As far as I can tell, there is not a mark on either side. Zero wear on either side. This record was purchased new by yours truly, and while the mouth edge was opened, I can't say that I ever played it more than once or twice. Side one was audibly graded just to note sound quality. Due to the cleanliness and newness of its surface appearance, side two was not audibly graded. SOUND QUALITY VG++ TO EX: Near zero noise in the lead in groove area and between tracks. Zero noise in the trail off area. Most if not all of these tunes were released in the late 1950's, so sound quality is not as stellar as more modern studio work. That said, the recording is clean, and pleasant listening overall. Certainly qualified for re-recording to another type of audio medium. SIDE ONE OF THIS ALBUM WAS GRADED AUDIBLY BUT NOT SIDE TWO! PLEASE USE THE LETTER GRADE GUIDE DETAILS FOLLOWING THE SONG TITLES, TO DETERMINE THE CONDITION OF THE RECORD AFTER IT HAS BEEN PLAY GRADED. Any comments not highlighted in the following letter grades will be noted immediately following the audible grade next to the song title. SIDE ONE: - Audible Grade "A" ( Near zero noise in lead in groove area and between tracks. Ex sound, zero noise in trail off area).SIDE TWO: - Audible Grade "N/A" (Not graded due to exceptional overall condition of vinyl). "A" * Near zero to zero noise in the lead in groove area.

I'm just a guy that's been buying and collecting records for close to 60 years. I use Goldmines price guide as a tool when either buying or selling an album or 45. My listing procedure is: to clean the record (if necessary), visually inspect record and/or cover for obvious flaws, damage or imperfections, and to play each record in its entirety to evaluate overall sound quality. I try to simply give my honest opinion of the records' condition without any technical gobbledygook.

I do not want negative feedback in the event that I overlook an egregious flaw or if my opinion of the record is beneath the buyer's expectations.
