Vinyl Condition: Mint (Unplayed!)The Vinyl on both sides are in Stunning and Flawless UNPLAYED Condition has been kept in a Nagaoka Anti-Static Record Sleeve (see pictures in gallery) With Absolutely NO Needle Mark Scratches or any other Marks and Blemishes that I can visually see or detect on close inspection that can effect a Perfect Audio Playback - The vinyl still retains it's original factory pressed look with jet black shiny gloss sheen and lustre - It would be virtually impossible to find vinyl that looks like its just been pressed at the factory to better this one!!!  

AUDIO PLAYBACK ASSESSMENT:  - As This Vinyl is an Unplayed Mint looking Copy - On this particular occasion I will not be play grading the Audio quality and performance as there is NO point this would then become  a played copy and be devalued accordingly    

Labels Condition: Mint (Unused) These Look Like New!!! Just Superb Unmarked and perfect with NO Evidence showing of Spindle usage marks or Trails showing across any of the Labels with the spindle hole that is still untouched - Same as when it first left the record factory printing Plant 

Cover Condition: EX+  An Original Garrod & Lofthouse 'Thick Wide Spine' Gatefold picture sleeve cover that's totally intact and near perfect - The cover Looks to be virtually Unmarked - Flat crisp and very clean and showing all it's original bold vivid rich colours on both sides and when open -With straight edges and a Razor sharp unworn opening edge - The only blemishes  I can find are some little and light storage edge,corner and down the spine rub/scuff wear and a few minimal mild front and back edge creases which is not that noticable (this doesn't in anyway detract from the overall Superb condition of cover) 

Spine Condition: Ex+- The multi-coloured spine is totally clean intact and virtually near perfect very straight and rigid with all original White writting text still showing to be very Pristine bold clear and legible

Inner Sleeve: Mint- The original Black and White Lyric Record company sleeve are in immaculate and Suberb original very clean intact condition and shows no evidence of any real handling wear over it's lifetime - Absolutely NO Tears,Splits,Ink Writting,Stickers or other noticable Blemishes to be seen - If I'm going to be really ultra critical then there are a few very tiny small edge wear and a few miniscule mild and tiny creases along the edge. Hardly worth mentioning as this doesn't detract from the overall near Mint condition that it looks

 The overall Brilliant Pristine condition of this Album is mainly due to the superb dry storage conditions and thick plastic cover protection on this LP Record over it's Lifetime!!!

 Thanks for Looking and Happy Bidding!!!

EXCELLENT: The Record shows some signs of having been played,but there is very little lessing 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 noticable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the Cover or extra items, without any major defects is acceptable.
