CONDITION REPORT & PHOTO GALLERY AUDIO Overall graded as EXCELLENT; this has been completely play graded from start to finish at volume and both sides played through wonderfully without jumping or sticking. The clarity of the audio was great throughout; bright and crisp without any distortion.There was some very occasional light but insignificant crackle here and there. No loud pops. The only exception to this was that 'Thank You' seemed to pick up static for some reason.
Overall though, a great listen with super audio.
VINYL (VISUAL): EXCELLENT(-); the vinyl has retained a nice shine with just light superficial hairline/wispy sleeve removal type marks noticeable. Overall, the record looks very nice and has clearly been well cared for.
Both labels look nice with a touch of light mottling + some spindle marking on each side consistent with the record having been played. There are some very faint initials on side 2 (P.C.) but these are very small and faded.
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT; the sleeve is in great shape and rates as one of the best examples of this that I have seen. The only flaw of real note is that a previous owner has written his name and the date 30/07/70 in the interior centrefold (please see photos below). The exterior looks great with just some light creasing and a touch of mild partial ring wear to the rear panel. The interior centrefold also looks great.
The spine looks superb with only very light signs of wear and all text still clearly legible. Very little wear at all to the opening edges. Overall, a wonderful looking example of a sleeve that is usually seen very tired and worn.

PAYMENT & CHECKOUT
Please remember that your bid is binding.
I reserve the right to cancel bids from buyers whose previous feedback ratings are poor.
GRADING
Unless otherwise stated, all of my records have been play tested before listing using a Rega P3-24 turntable with Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge & stylus. I describe honestly and accurately but please bear in mind that I am only human and such things are always subjective. I tend to grade records conservatively and believe that my feedback speaks for itself.
Please take confidence from the fact that I have been a collector myself for over 20 years (please check my feedback as a buyer) and know only too well how disappointing it is to receive an inaccurately described record.
I also grade visually using a strong halogen lamp.
I use the Record Collector grading system as shown below.
POSTAGE / SHIPPING
I post worldwide and pack all records in custom made (stiff) card mailers and add extra packaging inside to ensure a safe delivery. I will provide a protective polythene sleeve and the record and inner will be removed from the outer sleeve to prevent seam splits in transit. I want your record to get to you in the condition that it was when it left me.
For any records that come with printed inner sleeves, I will also provide an additional plain inner.
As a general rule, shipping will be discounted ie. I lose money on the costs of buying my packaging. I do not profit from this; please remember that my costs are not simply those shown on the stamp!
CUSTOMS DECLARATIONS FOR OVERSEAS ORDERS: Please note that for overseas orders from outside the EU I am obliged to complete a customs declaration and must enter the true value of the package's contents on the declaration. It is the BUYER'S responsibility to ensure that all import duties are known and paid.
Please send me a message if anything is unclear and I will be happy to help.
RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING 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, discolouration, 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.
