VERY RARE ORIGINAL DAWN LABEL UK PRESSING OF THIS OBSCURE AND SCARE DOUBLE LP FROM DONOVAN. THE VINYL SHINES AS NEW WITH ALMOST NO SIGNS OF USE AND BOTH RECORDS PLAY PERFECTLY. THE GATEFOLD IS ALSO IN BEAUTIFUL CONDITION WITH NO MARKINGS, NO SPLITS IT DOES SHOW MINOR SIGNS OF WEAR ON EDGES. ... JUST A VERY SMALL AMOUNT OF RUBBING ON THE BOTTOM SEAM. OVERALL A NM COPY AND YOU WILL BE HARD PRESSED TO FIND A NICER ONE!!

Near Mint (NM) = A nearly perfect record. The record should show no obvious signs of wear. A 45 rpm or EP sleeve should have no more than minor defects, such almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling.

Very Good Plus Plus (VG++) = Record surfaces may show signs that it was rarely played and otherwise handled by a previous owner that took extremely good care of it. Record surfaces may show very minimal amount of surface scuffing and/or scratching that does not affect one's listening pleasure.

Very Good Plus (VG+) = A very good plus Record will show some slight signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don’t affect one’s listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK. This grade is sometimes called excellent.

The label may have ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. The center hole will not be misshapen by repeated play.

Picture sleeves will have some slight ring wear and lightly turned up corners, or a slight seam split. In general except if not for a couple minor things wrong with it this would be Near Mint. Generally worth 50 percent of near mint value

Vry Good (VG )= Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG record. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during the songs intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will be will start to be noticeable, as will Light scratches (deep enough to feel with fingernail) that will affect the sound.

Labels may be marred by writing, or may have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time. Only two or three of them. Is worth 25 percent of near mint value.

Good(G), Good Plus (G+) = Good does not mean bad! A record in Good or Good Plus condition can often be put onto a turntable and play through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear. This is worth 10-15 percent of near mint value

Poor(P), Fair(F) = The record is cracked, badly warped, and won’t play through without skipping or repeating, The picture sleeve is water damaged, split on all three seams and heavily marred but wear and/or writing. Generally worth 0-5

percent of near mint value.
