Sleeve is EXCELLENT (Top sleeve with great seams, spine & flipbacks. The grade relates to a general ageing factor rather than a specific defect)

GRADING
All records are originals except when noted. Record is graded first, then the cover.
For grading purposes I use the British Record Collector's grading scale (needless to detail on this one as it's known to all collectors) with occasionally (+) or (-) signs to denote the in-between conditions.
Generally speaking:
- a MINT (M) or NEAR MINT (M-) grade will give full satisfaction, an EXCELLENT (EX) grade is the condition we usually find (shiny vinyl with possibly a faint mark or two, ONLY seen under a strong light and NOT affecting performance; in most cases NM and EX are pretty close).
- a VG+ or even a VG (Very Good) grade is always a Shiny Vinyl with some light surface marks & will give an enjoyable performance with no skips, pops or unpleasant surface noise.
Same logic applies to the cover's grade.
I do not list records at an inferior grade unless they are extremely rare & sought after.
.
