Artist: Pink Floyd
Label: Original Master Recording, Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab
Label Selection Number: MFSL 1-017
Genre: Rock
Year Released: 1973 (as noted in gatefold)
Condition
Record: M/NM
Label: NM
Sleeve: Sleeve / Company Jacket NM/NM-
Jacket: VG+
Notes: The record looks new to me - I do not see any signs of wear. The labels are virtually new. There is a thin plastic sleeve (with wrinkling you would expect to see) that slips into a cardboard jacket that is beautiful looking. The main jacket is a gatefold. The front and back of the external jacket surfaces have some scuffing, including minor ring wear on the front cover. The Internal cover surfaces show a little minor scuffing. Edges and corners show some wear - not bad. There are two small seam splits. This is going to be a very nice find for somebody……SEE PHOTOS
Each record has been visually inspected. Each record is packaged in a paper sleeve that fits into a plastic sleeve and is then sandwiched between two filler pads and sent in a custom mailer designed for records.
When the description refers to visible scuffs or scuffing, especially if it notes that they are light, these scuff marks have been detected because I look at them with a high intensity light. The marks are, for the most part, not visible, or barely visible when looked at using natural light or a typical overhead light.
Grading Scale:
Vinyl
SS (Still Sealed) Perfect, but could be resealed.
M (Mint): Appears to be factory fresh. Opened, but perfect in all details.
NM (Near Mint): Nearly perfect. No obvious signs of wear. One or two very minor issues like a small scratch or scuff, a spindle mark, etc.
VG+ (Very good plus): Shows some signs it was played / handled, yet well taken care of. Shows slight signs of wear. May have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don’t affect listening. Good lustre. Minor surface noise.
VG (Very good): Noticeable surface noise is evident, especially in soft passages and during the song’s intro and fade. Groove wear starts to be noticeable as do light scratches (deep enough to feel with a
fingernail). Perhaps some very slight warping and/or dulling of the surface or very minor staining.
G+ (Good plus): Significant surface noise and scratching. Visible groove wear. Some noticeable warping, but it doesn’t affect play. No skipping or jump-backs. Some dulling.
G (Good): Any of the above are increased. One or two ticks where there is a tiny skip or jump-back.
F/P (Fair/poor): All of the above are bad, it’s warped, and you can’t play it without irritating skipping / jump-backs.
Labels
M: Mint. Appears to be factory fresh. Opened, but perfect in all details.
NM: Only the smallest signs that it was ever played. Essentially perfect. Bright, clean, unmarked.
VG+: May have a little ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. Center hole shows no signs of being misshapen due to repeated play. May have minor imperfections (residue, initials).

G+: Scratched or scraped, some discoloration, some light tearing. Pronounced fading. Center hole may be slightly out of round.

VG: Increased signs of wear, maybe some wrinkles, more noticeable folds/bends. Perhaps some slight tearing or splitting. Perhaps some small staining. No extreme (or close) damage.
