CONDITION

SLEEVE: (EX+) NON LAMINATED SLEEVE WITH 'DEEPAK PRINTED AND MADE BY QUALITY STATIONERY LTD' CREDIT. SUPERB CONDITION WITH ONLY VERY SLIGHT WEAR FROM USE AND STORAGE. THE ONLY ISSUE IS A CIRCULAR STICKER WITH '33' WRITING ON IT. TO THE BACK TOP RIGHT CORNER WHICH I THINK IT COULD BE CAREFULLY REMOVED BUT LOOKS LIKE IT HAS BEEN ON THERE SINCE NEW BECAUSE '33' IS ALSO WRITTEN IN RED PEN ON THE TOP RIGHT CORNER OF THE INNER SLEEVE. I WILL IT UP TO THE NEW OWNER TO DECIDE WHETHER TO LEAVE IN ON OR REMOVE IT. NO WRITING. NO SPLITS. NO EDGE SCUFFING. NO RIPS & NO SPLITS.

SPINE: (EX+) ALL THE TEXT PERFECTLY READABLE AND ONLY THE SLIGHTEST RUBBING TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM CORNERS. NO SPLITS.

INNER: (VG) ORIGINAL PAPER CBS ADVERTISING INNER WITH '33' WRITING IN TOP RIGHT CORNER. A FEW HEAVY CREASES BUT NO SPLITS. NO STICKERS.

LABELS: (MINT) BOTH LABELS ARE FREE FROM ANY UNWANTED WRITING & STICKERS. NO SPINDLE MARKS NO WRITING NO STICKERS NO DISCOLOURATION

VINYL VISUALLY: (NEAR MINT) BOTH SIDES ARE FLAT & GLOSSY AND LOOK NEW! IF YOU CLOSELY EXAMINE BOTH SIDES WHEN ANGLED UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT ALL YOU CAN SEE IS SOME ISOLATED LIGHT PAPER SCUFFS BUT YOU HAVE TO LOOK HARD TO SEE THEM! THIS RECORD HAS ONLY BEEN PLAYED TWICE AND RARELY HANDLED. THIS VINYL HAS BEEN STORED UNTOUCHED FOR OVER 35 YEARS AND THERE IS A LITTLE SURFACE DUST.

PLAYING GRADE: (EX+) BOTH SIDES HAVE BEEN CAREFULLY LISTENED TO ON HEADPHONES ON A COUPLE OF SYSTEMS WITH A SHURE WHITE LABEL CARTRIDGE & STEREO NEEDLE. BOTH SIDES PLAYS LIKE NEW! THE QUIETER MUSIC HAS OCCASIONAL VERY ISOLATED LIGHT BACKGROUND STATIC/CRACKLE AND A COUPLE OF POPS ON EACH SIDE CAUSED FROM DUST. I CANNOT SEE ANYTHING TO SUGGEST OTHERWISE. WHEN A VINYL LOOKS THIS CLOSE TO MINT I AM RELUCTANT TO TOUCH IT LET ALONE CLEAN IT!! ALL I DID BEFORE MY ONE PLAY WAS GENTLY WIPE OFF THE SURFACE DUST WITH A SPECIALIST RECORD CLEANING CLOTH. MORE PLAYS WOULD DISLODGE SOME OF THE DUST BUT A RECORD OF THIS INCREASING VALUE AND IN THIS SORT OF CONDITION SHOULD BE CAREFULLY LOOKED AFTER. IF THIS VINYL WERE TO BE PROFESSIONALLY MACHINE CLEANED THEN IT WOULD 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! INCREDIBLE CONDITION AND CERTAINLY A COPY THAT YOU WOULD NEVER HAVE TO UPGRADE!!

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.
