Simple grading can be misleading, so please read the full description of condition which I hope will be helpful.
Condition: The record is housed in a front-laminated single sleeve with flipbacks. It has light wear only, and is very clean and sound, with hardly any of the usual discolouration to the unlaminated rear. The spine is strong and fully legible. The record comes complete with original EMI poly lined inner.
The vinyl looks good and bright with the customary odd paper scrape, and a short scratch on the first band of 'Sea Pictures' which does cause a handful of clicks. It has clean labels with just a few spindle marks. It plays very well with some light background crackle in places - probably the result of static / 45 years' worth of dust. (As with many records of this age, it might benefit from cleaning on professional grade equipment.)
Overall, this is a nice playing copy. I am not a dealer, but would guess that this might be graded as EX / VG (sleeve/vinyl per RC guidelines)
Please note: I try to test-play a significant part of each record before listing, but do not have time to play fully in all cases. As a record collector myself, I have had disappointing purchases, so if you do encounter a problem, please do not hesitate to contact me and I will do all I can to rectify the situation.
Postage: I do not set out to profit from P&P charges - price quoted below is my best estimate of exact Royal Mail charge plus 40p to cover the cost of a brand new custom cardboard mailer and stiffener in order to give your purchase extra protection in transit. Packages are only covered for approx £40 compensation, so you may wish to purchase additional insurance (which can be expensive for overseas mail). I am happy to combine shipping to minimize expense for multiple purchases (though a 2kg total limit per package will be observed for overseas shipping). ?
