My listings will include rare and not so rare but as vinyl is in such demand these days I'll be covering the whole spectrum, as I firmly believe there is a market for everything (NO musical snobbery !!). All records have been sourced ,by extensive advertising, from private collections, and are not from shoddy wholesale job lots. I've a huge stock of records at the moment so if there is anything you are looking for drop me an email. Rest assured, MINT means MINT (no marks/no scratches/no spindle marks/faultless vinyl/faultless sleeve)....and I'm not afraid to use the term VERY GOOD which, incidentally, does not mean trashed !!!! I'll be continually listing some great stuff so keep an eye out. 

AND REMEMBER, MOST IMPORTANTLY, VINYL IS FOR PLAYING !!!!!!

CONDITION

SLEEVE

The gatefold sleeve is in VERY GOOD condition. A solid, crisp sleeve with only a few creases round the edges, light wear to a couple of the corners, ring wear, and a few indentations and marks. There is no edge wear, no dings/dents, no discolouration, no mustiness, no grubbiness, no seam splits, no sellotape, no folds, no writing, no stickers, no wear and no softening to excellent opening edges, and no wear to an excellent square spine....only a couple of creases across. The inside of the gatefold with pics and storyline is excellent. The sleeve grades VERY GOOD+++

INNER SLEEVE

The CBS advertising inner sleeve has a seam split to the bottom edge, no tears, and grades EXCELLENT.

 VINYL

The record has clearly not been played a great deal....has NO scratches, SIDE 1 has a few noticeable but inconsequential surface marks and scuffs, and only a few of the very lightest sleeve removal scuffs when viewed at an angle under a bright light. The vinyl grades SIDE 1 VERY GOOD+++ and SIDE 2 EXCELLENT MINUS and plays with a little very light background noise only in parts...with NO skips, NO jumps, NO sticks, NO distortion, NO pops, and very few louder clicks.

LABELS

The labels grade near MINT , with only a few visible spindle marks on each side, with no wear to near perfect spindle holes, and no unwanted wear or writing.

TOUR PROGRAMME

The 8 page tour programme booklet grades EXCELLENT and is signed by ALL band members on their pic !!

PLEASE NOTE: UNLESS NOT NEEDED or THE RECORD IS SEALED....ALL RECORDS HAVE BEEN CLEANED ON AN "OKKI NOKKI RECORD CLEANING MACHINE" using the correct  mix of distilled water and concentrate !!

THIS RECORD HAS BEEN CLEANED, ZAPPED WITH AN ANTI-STATIC GUN, AND BEEN GIVEN A NEW POLYLINED INNER SLEEVE.
