	£		16

Welcome to my auction...

Thanks for taking the time to view my item. I try to be as honest as possible with my listings as I know how important it is for vinyl collectors. I grade both the media and sleeve according to the criteria below (eg: NM/EX+ indicates the media to be near mint with the sleeve graded as excellent plus). Additional information will be included if necessary to allow buyers to make an informed decision (eg: if the item has an insert, is signed, a first press etc.). I always include the matrices (stamped or etched codes located usually within the run-out grooves) and barcode data (if applicable). I tend to be quite critical in my descriptions and always under-grade. The item you receive will, in most cases, be better than I've described and never worse. I intend to keep my flawless feedback intact and don't wish to disappoint anyone in any way - bid with confidence and good luck!

• Number of disks - 1

• Additional - Excellent copy and a true first UK pressing complete with original lyric inner & poster, both in excellent condition. Vinyl is very clean with some light surface hairlines being visible in strong light. There are, however, a few tiny pressing errors which sound briefly (most notable is at the beginning of Space Oddity but over quickly). Light scratch on An Occasional Dream but not serious, doesn't skip or jump. Sleeve is extremely good and all pre Mainman. Only credits are Titanic Music/Chrysalis or Essex Music International. Poster is near mint and never pinned or mounted, looks to have always been folded. A classic album and great investment...

Criteria for condition gradings:

Mint (M): A brand new or new old stock (NOS) sealed record.

Near Mint (NM): Will sound like a new record with no marks and no loss in sound quality. Sleeve will look almost new with no marks.

Excellent Plus (EX+): A few very light, non-sounding hairline marks. Sleeve may have minor marks but will be intact with no splits, tears or holes.

Excellent (EX): A few more hairline and light marks, may be the odd pop or crackle during play. Sleeve may have minor creasing, age-related wear & tear but will be intact with no splits, tears or holes.

Excellent Minus (EX-): A few more hairline and light marks still, may be some light background noise with the occasional pop and crackle in places. Sleeve may have a little staining or discolouration, could be the odd sticker mark or some slight delamination.

VG: Quite a few marks which will be audible but no skips, jumps or sticks. As well as the above, sleeve could look tired and grubby, have pen or sticker marks, seam splits & scuffing.

G: A lot of marks which will certainly affect play but no major skips, jumps or sticks. As well as the above, sleeve could have significant writing, sticky-tape repairs, splits or holes. I only list records in this condition if they are very rare.

In addition, a + or - may be used to further indicate condition. Any obvious condition issues should also be evident in the photos.
