180 gram vinyl says nothing about the master. A reissue cut from a CD file on thick vinyl sounds worse than a decent original on thin. We list the mastering source when we can confirm it.
01 — NM
Near mint. Looks unplayed and sounds it. Surface noise only in the run-in.
02 — VG+
Light marks that you can see but mostly cannot hear between tracks.
03 — VG
Audible surface noise in quiet passages. Priced accordingly, never hidden.
