The disc has been visually inspected and fully play tested on Linn equipment. The vinyl has a deep lustre and good clean dynamic sound. There is the tiniest amount of low level crackling otherwise this is a great copy. There is just a little edge and corner wear and a witness line/very light ring wear line at the bottom front of the outer sleeve otherwise this is in great condition. The inner sleeve is in near mint condition.
We use the Record Collector's grading system giving separate condition ratings for the Vinyl and Sleeve as follows:
Near Mint (NM) - A nearly perfect record. Has been played few times or not at all, and the vinyl will show virtually no imperfections during playback. Sleeve will have no more than the most minor defects. The same is true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, etc.
Excellent (EX) - The record shows some signs of having been played but there is very little lessening in sound quality. Sleeve may have slight wear and/or creasing
Very Good (VG) - 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. Sleeve, normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable
Good (GD) - The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. Sleeve suffers from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.
Fair (FR) - The Record is still 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.
Note: an alternative carrier may be used for delivery particularly for multiple purchases or for any to: Isle of Man; Inner Hebrides areas - Skye & South Uist; Outer Hebrides areas - Barra, Benbecula, Harris & Lewis; Orkney areas - Eday, Rousay, South Ronaldsay, Stronsay & Westray; Shetland areas - Bressay, Fetlar, Unst, Whalsey & Yell; other remote islands.
