Audio Grading - Very good +

Some small hairlines noticeable under strong light. Clean label no writing.

The inner sleeve is in very good condition with some yellowing due to age, no tears, writing or stickers.

The clout and baker sleeve with the Decca top right and small mono top left unfortunately has quite a large tear that has been repaired by tape. Mostly on the inside. The laminate still has a nice shine and the back of sleeve rates near excellent. No stickers or wriitng.

The spine is very readable

This extremely rare album is well sort after and extremely hard to find in any condition. This album is in above average condition.

All records graded by the record collectors guide rating system:

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.
