Made in GT Britain - Sold in U.K. subject to resale price conditions. See price lists.The Record itself is VISUALLY graded as GOOD (+) I can see some hazy scratches on both sides that would/could affect playback. Side 2 seems to have a deposit on it which may benefit from a very good clean. (Something of which I don't do as I don't have the correct equipment).
The labels show some indication of use.
The inner is in Good condition and is the original inner with no tears or rips merely creasing and yellowing of the fragile inner.
The Spine is in Excellent condition with very minor storage bumps corners. The sleeve is in Excellent Condition no tears or rips or sellotape used for repairs . The cover has a nice sheen, with no writing on it.
Cheapest on Ebay by far for this conservatively graded LP.
Please note I am no Vinyl expert but I am starting to fall for the lure of Vinyl, I am currently saving for my first player and therefore all grading is done under strong light only. The records themselves are inherited through various family members who no longer deem it a format of choice.
I will try to answer any questions posed, to the best of my ability.
Please note that all items will be carefully packaged and only sent using recorded delivery.
Also please note that the condition of this and any other Vinyl I will list will not all of a sudden turn into a superior than stated copy in the post.
I do only rarely grade using mint. Cheapest by far on EBAY in this condition!!
