CONDITION

SLEEVE: (VG+) NON LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE IS STILL IN NICE SHAPE. JUST LIGHT WEAR FROM USE & STORAGE WITH SOME EDGE SCUFFING AND CORNER RUBBING BUT NOTHING SERIOUS (SEE PICTURES). THE FRONT HAS SOME DISCOLOURATION FROM AGE BUT NO WRITING NO RIPS & NO SPLITS. 

SPINE: (VG) SOME MILD CORNER RUBBING/SCUFFING BUT  'NO DICE  BADFINGER'  AT THE TOP IS CLEARLY READABLE. HOWEVER THE CAT NUMBER AT THE BOTTOM HAS WORN AWAY. VERY SQUARE AND STRAIGHT WITH NO SPLITS.  

INNER: (VG) ORIGINAL PAPER INNER SLEEVE WITH NO TEXT AND SOME MILD/HEAVY CREASING FROM STORAGE. NO WRITING NO RIPS NO SPLITS AND NO STICKERS. 

LABELS: (VG) BOTH LABELS ARE FREE FROM ANY UNWANTED WRITING & STICKERS WITH A FEW SPINDLE MARKS AROUND THE CENTRE HOLE. NO WRITING NO STICKERS.

VINYL VISUALLY: (VG) BOTH SIDES ARE COMPLETELY FLAT AND GLOSSY AND IN NORMAL LIGHT LOOK SUPERB! UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT YOU CAN SEE LOTS OF LIGHT PAPER & MILD SCUFFS AND HAIRLINES WITH A COUPLE OF SMALL LIGHT SCRATCHES. THIS RECORD HAS OBVIOUSLY BEEN ENJOYED OVER THE YEARS BUT HAS NOT BEEN ABUSED. THE MARKS LOOK LIKE THEY MAY HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY OVER ENTHUSIASTIC CLEANING & REMOVAL FROM THE PAPER INNER. BOTH SIDES ALSO LOOK A BIT DUSTY IN PLACES SO MAY BENEFIT FROM A PROFESSIONAL MACHINE CLEAN.

PLAYING GRADE: SIDE 1 (VG+) SIDE 2 (VG) BOTH SIDES HAVE BEEN CAREFULLY LISTENED TO ON HEADPHONES ON A COUPLE OF SYSTEMS WITH A SHURE WHITE LABEL CARTRIDGE & STEREO NEEDLE. BOTH SIDES PLAY REALLY WELL WITH THE QUIETER PARTS PLAYING VERY GOOD AND THE LOUDER MUSIC PLAYING EXCELLENT. THERE IS NO LOSS OF SOUND QUALITY AND NO DISTORTION JUST LIGHT BACKGROUND STATIC/CRACKLE IN PLACES AND NOTICEABLE DURING THE QUIETER MUSIC. THE VINYL LOOKS A BIT DUSTY IN PLACES WHEN VIEWED UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT AND I EXPECT IF THIS VINYL WERE TO BE PROFESSIONALLY MACHINE CLEANED THEN IT MIGHT PLAY EVEN BETTER. I AM BEING HIGHLY CRITICAL AND MY PLAY GRADE IS ALWAYS BASED ON WHAT I CAN HEAR ON BEYER-DYNAMIC DT-150 HEADPHONES WITH THE TREBLE TURNED UP FULL. A PLAYABLE AND PRESENTABLE COPY OF A CLASSIC ALBUM NOT TO BE MISSED!!

EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO FIND IN ANY CONDITION!!

DON`T MISS OUT ON THIS!!

GRADING

All records are graded using the Record Collector Grading System with (+) or (-) to show a slightly higher or lower grade.

M (Mint) : The Record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition.

EX (Excellent): The Record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

VG (Very Good) : The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

G (Good) : The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.

F (Fair) : The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
