Vinyl still has a good sheen and plays through with no skips, sticks or jumps. There is background in places in quieter parts but they are not overbearing and don’t detract from overall playback of the album. There are clusters of fine hairlines under the lamp and some light surface and some light marks too. None are feel able and considering it’s age this one is pretty good overall. Slight dish which doesn’t catch on the deck. Pink rim labels have no splits, stickers or writing and some light spindle wear to the centres. Poly lined inner sleeve with plastic bag warning. Outer gatefold sleeve has no splits, stickers or writing and a readable medium spine. There is some light age related storage wear and some light marks in places but otherwise a solid MacNeil press sleeve. Please study the photos as the vinyl you see is the one you shall receive.

General U.K. record collector grading of..

Rare and collectable always sought after JOHN MARTYN LP..

All records are properly play tested through headphones unless otherwise stated or still sealed.. All vinyl is also inspected under a bright halogen lamp and carefully graded.. I use the standard U.K. record collector grading system appreciating that opinions differ.. I never add more than one + or - to my gradings and never grade a record as M unless it’s bought new by myself and still sealed. Even then an M graded record is extremely rare in anyone’s grading system.

…

Vinyl is graded first then outer / inner sleeves, posters inserts etc. Vinyl is always separated from sleeve in transit (Unless stated) Record will come in a polythene protective sleeve with a new anti static inner sleeve when the inner is printed or a new one is required (Unless stated) Posted with two record stiffeners in sturdy vinyl mailer (Unless stated) Vinyl is always posted signed for, insured with proof of postage also retained.
