inyl displaying several light marks on both sides, yet playing with minimal noise disturbances in the form of light & intermittent background surface noise. I have Side 1 playing excellent except for light sizzle at very end of "2 H.B.", while Side 2 had a couple of ticks. 

Cover Grade : Very Good Plus (VG+) *general overall wear with numerous creases at various spots, some minor wear on spine seam Notes : Roxy Music's eponymous debut remains a startling redefinition of rock's boundaries. Simultaneously embracing kitschy glamour and avant-pop, Roxy Music shimmers with seductive style and pulsates with disturbing synthetic textures. Brian Eno 's synthesized "treatments" exploit electronic instruments as electronics, instead of trying to shoehorn them into conventional acoustic patterns. Similarly, Bryan Ferry finds that his vampiric croon is at its most effective when it twists conventional melodies, Phil Manzanera 's guitar is terse and unpredictable, while Andy Mackay 's saxophone subverts rock & roll clichés by alternating R&B honking with atonal flourishes.

Surface noise is evident upon playing, especially during soft passages and a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise.
