THE SLEEVE

THE ASTONISHING PICTURE SLEEVE, WITH TWO REAR SCALLOPED FLIP-BACKS, IS IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION WITH SOME SLIGHT WEAR AND ONE OR TWO TINY WRINKLES. THE EDGES AND CORNERS ARE ALL NICE AND STRAIGHT AND ALL OF THE TEXT ON THE 'PINCHED' SPINE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. 

THE INNER SLEEVE

THE ORIGINAL POLY-LINED 'USE EMITEX' DIE-CUT INNER SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH SOME SLIGHT WEAR AND SOME MINOR TANNING. 

THE VINYL

VISUALLY THE HEAVY GLOSSY BLACK VINYL APPEARS TO BE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION AND UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT I CAN ONLY SEE A FEW TINY MARKS. I HAVE CAREFULLY LISTENED TO BOTH SIDES OF THIS RARE RECORD AND I CAN CONFIRM THAT THE SOUND QUALITY IS SUPERB THROUGHOUT. I ONLY NOTED THE SLIGHTEST, OCCASIONAL SURFACE NOISE MIDWAY THROUGH SIDE TWO.  

THE LABELS

THE STUNNING, DEEP GROOVED, RED & GOLD HIS MASTER'S VOICE LABELS, WITH LARGE NIPPER LOGOS, ARE BOTH IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION WITH A FEW LIGHT SPINDLE MARKS. THERE IS AN EMBOSSED 'WT' TAX CODE ON THE SIDE TWO LABEL.

ALL RECORDS ARE REMOVED FROM ANY PICTURE SLEEVE TO PREVENT KNIFING. I DO NOT USE 'ENVELOPE STYLE' MAILERS. INSTEAD I USE SPECIAL MAILERS DESIGNED TO PROTECT YOUR RECORDS AND ENSURE SAFE ARRIVAL.

I HAVE DESCRIBED THIS RECORD STRICTLY ACCORDING TO RECORD COLLECTOR MAGAZINE GRADING SYSTEMS SO THERE WILL BE NO NASTY SURPRISES FOR THE WINNING BIDDER. THIS RECORD HAS BEEN CAREFULLY VISUALLY & FULLY PLAY-GRADED.
