ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

 SLEEVE:  ORIGINAL PICTURE SLEEVE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH JUST A COUPLE OF THE VERY LIGHTEST CREASES. NO WRITING, SPLITS OR TEARS AND JUST A LITTLE VERY LIGHT RINGWEAR. LAMINATE IS PERFECT. EDGES ARE PERFECT. SPINE IS PERFECT. NICE SHARP CORNERS AND A VERY STRAIGHT OPENING EDGE. JUST A LITTLE VERY LIGHT DISCOLOURATION ON THE BACK. BOTH FLIPBACKS PERFECTLY INTACT (VERY SMALL MARK ON THE TOP ONE). IN LOVELY CONDITION OVERALL.

LABEL: COMPLETELY UNMARKED EXCEPT FOR A COUPLE OF VERY LIGHT SPINDLE TRACES ON EITHER SIDE. RARE SOLID CENTRE PRESSING. MOST OF THESE HAD A FOUR PRONG PUSH OUT CENTRE. LOOKS VIRTUALLY BRAND NEW. CAN ONLY BE DESCRIBED AS NEAR MINT. SIMPLY STUNNING!!!!

DISC SIDE ONE:  IN SUPERB EX+ CONDITION WITH JUST A COUPLE OF THE VERY LIGHTEST SURFACE TRACES. EVEN UNDER STRONG ELECTRIC LIGHT THERE IS NOTHING MORE TO SEE EXCEPT THE ODD SLEEVE REMOVAL HAIRLINE/RUB. THIS SIDE LOOKS ALMOST BRAND NEW!!! THERE IS NOTHING AT ALL TO CAUSE AN ISSUE WHEN PLAYING. HARDLY ANY BACKGROUND/SURFACE NOISE AT ALL. PLAYS THROUGH PERFECTLY WITH A CLEAR, DISTORTION FREE SOUND. HAS HAD BARELY ANY USE.

SIDE TWO DISC: AGAIN, THIS SIDE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION OVERALL WITH JUST THE ODD, BARELY VISIBLE SURFACE TRACE. HOWEVER, THERE IS ONE VERY LIGHT NEEDLE TYPE MARK AT THE START OF THE FIRST TRACK WHICH WILL STOP ME GIVING AN EX+ GRADE VISUALLY FOR THIS SIDE. THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT IT IS PURELY SUPERFICIAL WITH VIRTUALLY NO TANGIBLE DEPTH AND HASN'T PENETRATED THE GROOVES TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS AUDIBLE. I HAVE PLAYED THIS A COUPLE OF TIMES ON TWO DIFFERENT DECKS AND CANNOT HEAR ANY AUDIBLE INTERFERENCE WHATSOEVER. THERE IS NOTHING TO CAUSE AN ISSUE WHEN PLAYING. HARDLY ANY BACKGROUND/SURFACE NOISE AT ALL. PLAYS THROUGH PERFECTLY WITH A CLEAR DISTORTION FREE SOUND.

TO SUMMERISE, THIS IS A FANTASTIC COPY OF CLIFF'S RAREST AND MOST SOUGHT AFTER E.P.  WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ONE TINY BLEMISH, IT IS NEAR PERFECT AND, MOST IMPORTANTLY OF ALL, PLAYS LIKE IT IS ALMOST BRAND NEW. THIS HAS COME FROM THE SAME COLLECTION AS MY OTHER CLIFF AND SHADOWS EPs THAT I AM LISTING, ALL OF WHICH ARE IN LOVELY CONDITION. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS COPY!!!

GUIDE TO GRADINGS

    MINT: As new condition/unplayed

    NEAR MINT: No obvious marks or imperfections. May have very light paper lines/hairlines visible under strong light. Sound quality will be virtually perfect.

    EXCELLENT +: Record will display just the odd very light surface line/mark. No needle lines or scratches. Background/surface noise will be virtually non existent with the possibility of the occasional solitary tick. There will be nothing on the record to cause any audible flaws or distortion.

    EXCELLENT: Record will display one or two surface lines and/or light scuff marks. No needle lines or scratches. There may be a little very light background noise only audible on the run in/out. No obvious audible flaws or distortion and will only have had light use. Records graded as Excellent will still be very acceptable copies.

    EXCELLENT -: Record will show slightly more marks than an Excellent but not sufficient to drop it into the Very Good Plus catagory. Any marks will be purely superficial and will not be audible. a record that would otherwise be Excellent but has, perhaps, one light needle line will fall into this catagory. There may be very light audible noise on the run in/out but no scratches. The sound quality will still be perfectly acceptable although it will be obvious that the record has had a few plays.

    VERY GOOD +: Record will display light surface lines/scuffs, light needle lines and hairlines although there will not be any heavy or obvious scratches. Sound quality will still be perfectly acceptable although there will probably be a little light background noise, most obvious on the run in/out and a little minor distortion occasionally. Records graded VG+ will have had moderate use but have not been overplayed.

    VERY GOOD: Record will display several surface lines/marks, light needle lines and light scratches, some of which may be audible. The record has obviously been played many times but will still produce a good sound, albeit with some mild distortion occasionally. There will be no sticks or jumps and the record will play through fine.

I WILL NOT NORMALLY ADVERTISE ANY RECORD THAT FALLS BELOW A VERY GOOD GRADE UNLESS IT IS EXCEPTIONALLY RARE. I ALWAYS DO MY BEST TO GRADE RECORDS AS ACCURATELY AS POSSIBLE. HOWEVER, IF YOU ARE NOT 100% HAPPY WITH YOUR PURCHASE PLEASE CONTACT ME IMMEDIATELY SO THAT THE PROBLEM CAN BE SORTED. ALL ITEMS CARRY A FULL MONEY BACK GUARANTEE. 

THANKS FOR LOOKING AND HAPPY BIDDING.
