 CONDITION : Disc = EXCELLENT / Sleeve = EXCELLENT-

Condition of discs is Excellent. Lustrous vinyl. Only a few minor surface marks - most of which can only be seen under a strong light. Some visible spindle marks. Original desirable MONO mixes of both sides. No skips, jumps, sticking, warps, deep scratches or writing on labels. Some of the text around the edges of both labels was poorly printed from new, and some wording not visible (see photos).

Excellent sound quality throughout, with very little surface noise. A very listenable LP indeed. Great clear, punchy MONO sound. Far better sound than the weaker stereo mix. Tested on a Thorens turntable.

Correct 1967 publishing dates on both labels. Dratleaf / Immediate Music credits on side 1. Dratleaf /Copyright Control credits on side 2,

Sleeve laminated to front only. Would have been graded Excellent, but for some spine wear (see photo). The text on the spine is no longer legible. Very little wear otherwise, and still in crisp shiny condition. "Printed and made by Ernest J. Day & Co. Ltd". No, edge seam splits or writing anywhere. A very small 5mm split to lower right corner.

Supplied in white inner sleeve with polythene inserts and "Plastic bags can be dangerous" text, which is in very good condition.

GRADING:

All records are graded using the UK ‘Record Collector’ format:

MINT (M):

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 (EX): 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 (VG): 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 (G): 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, discoloration, etc.

FAIR (F): 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 (P): 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 (B): The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
