Condition :-
I have used the rare record price guide grading system to support with the grading of this record (outlined below).  
Sleeve - Overall the sleeve has no worrying concerns and is graded at VG/EX.  The front of the sleeve has some creases in the cardboard and some wearing especially around the corners and edges of the sleeve.  The rear of the sleeve has some creasing in the cardboard and a small amount of staining due to the colouring of the sleeve.  The spine of the sleeve shows no worrying concerns.  The inner of the sleeve shows no worrying concerns. The front of the sleeve has come away from the rear of the sleeve slightly but this is nothing that some paper glue wouldn't fix quite easily and would not be noticeable.    Vinyl Record - Overall the vinyl record shows no worrying concerns and is graded at VG.  Side 1 has some surface marks that in now way affect playing or sound quality (I have used a high quality stylus and played through).  Side 1 also has some small spindle marks.  Side 2 again has some surface marks that in now way affect playing or sound quality (Again I have used a high quality stylus and played through).  Side 2 also has spindle marks.
Rare Record Price Guide Grading System
In order to assist everyone who buys and sells rare discs, Record Collector magazine has originated a set of standards for the condition of second-hand records, cassettes and CDs. Anyone buying or selling records through the magazine must use our conditions to state what amount of wear and tear the disc, its sleeve and/or contents have been subject to. The seven standard condition categories, and a description of what each one means, are listed below:
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, discoloration, 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.
