Please read the record grading guide below and familiarize yourself with the grades used.

This 41 year old record I have graded as being in Very Good condition. There are the usual small hairline scratches of the type that any used LP will accumulate over time, but these only result in the low-level and generally non-intrusive minor 'clicks' as the needle passes through, unobstructed. There are no jumps, no sticking points etc.

Both discs still in original polythene-lined inner sleeves.

The remarkable sleeve, a strong red velvet / felt / flock wallpaper-type affair I have graded as being in Good++ condition. There are 12" ring diameter marks front and rear where the record has left its imprint on the velvet material, and a few minor scuffs, bumps and other small signs of vintage wear to the edges, The inside image of the 'rescue at sea' is still in fine shape.

The title, 'Bee Gees' and 'Polydor' are all cut into the velvet, and highlighted with gold.

3 pictures uploaded for your perusal, and to give a feel for the item overall.

Vinyl records are posted in sturdy Record Mailers with additional stiffeners inserted.

Please see the description below of how Record Collector Magazine grades vinyl. This is the system that I use.

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 the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

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.

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.

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.

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.

POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler.

As well as the above grades, Near Mint is often used as well; this is really for a record that appears new but is known to have been played because the label has light spindle marks or because it has come from a previous owner and is assumed to have been played by them. For records which appear to fall between the accepted grades, + and - are also often added to the grading.
