RYM: "Hope and Fears is a truly wonderful album, some of the best songs ever written to my mind. As with all their material, it is in the tradition of much of European modern classical, along with its serious interest in folk music (Bartók) and perfect miniatures (Berg). There are so many highlights on this album. Piers is a perfect small song. The version of the Eisler/Brecht classic "On Suicide" is just perfect. Ah, well, the whole thing is one of the unflawed jewels of 20th century music."

LP Grading
Mint: NEW and unplayed. These are new albums ..opened but never played.. or they are sealed.
NM (Near Mint): Pretty much perfect in every way. Albums that have clearly been well cared.
EX: Almost NM, but may have a few minor imperfections (like sleeve marks), which will be noted.
VG+: Cover or record has obvious wear. Record may contain light background noise depending on quality of pressing. Cover has flaws that we’ll detail.
VG: Vinyl has marks and will play with light (even persistent) background noise in various spots. Cover might have a split or heavy creasing.
G+: Vinyl is scuffy and has lots of marks / scratches. Plays with per persistent background noise, sometimes louder than the music, but usually not. Should not skip or stick though. Cover has many problems that will be detailed.
