Matrix:  EastWest 3984299421 Date: 1999 Record Company/Label: EastWest

Condition Notes:
General
Sleeve: The outer sleeve is in EX condition. There are no rips, stains, or any major damage. There is a price sticker underneath the remaining shrink wrap, I have not attempted to remove this. All corners, spine and opening are in great condition with no damage. The only thing to mention is the shrink wrap makes the sleeve squash a little as shown in photo 10. 
Inner sleeve: The inner sleeve is in EX condition with no ripped, tears, folds etc. There is the slightest of outline of the record from being in the inner sleeve. 
Side A: Run out reads : 398429942 1 A Side A of the record grades as EX-. The record hold a high sheen gloss and is still very fresh. There are the faintest of marks on the record, approx 3, most likely from being entered into the inner sleeve. 
Side B: Run out reads : 398429942 1 B Side B of this record grades as EX-. Like side A, the record holds a high sheen gloss. There are a few very light marks across the record, these do not affect playback and seem to be from the record entering the inner sleeve. 
These marks are in no way heavy what so ever, the play back on this record is fantastic. These marks are simply cosmetic. All records have been cleaned using Pro-Jects VRC machine prior to photographs and description.  
To summarise, I would grade this record as a conservative EX- due to the marks however the play back is much better. 
2 x 12" Single - Your Eyes
This record grades as Ex-/Ex-. 
The sleeve is great condition with strong corners, spine and opening. There are however 2 price stickers which I have not attempted to remove. Both records show some very light marks from sleeve entry and removal. 
The record I will be packaged in a strong card mailer then pack that into a strong cardboard box with padding to avoid any damage in transit. 
If you require more photographs please message me and I will be happy to help.


RECORD COLLECTORS GRADING SYSTEM
Mint (M)
The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet. booklet or poster are in perfect condiition. Records marked as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
Excellent (EX)
The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
Very Good (VG)
The record has obviously been played many times, but displayes no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any moajor defects is acceptable
Good (G)
Te record has been played so much that the sound quality has notceably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc
Fair (F)
The record is still just 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.
Poor (P)
The record will not play properly due to scratched, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing
Bad (B)
The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler
CD’s and CASSETTES
As a general rule CD’s and Cassettes either play perfectly – inwhich case they are in Mint condition – or they don’t, in which case their value is minimal. Cassette tape is liable to deteriorate with age, even if it remains unplayed, so care should be taken when buying old tapes. CD’s are difficult to grade visually; they can look perfect but actually be faulty, while in other cases they may appear damaged but still play perfectly. Cassette and CD inlays and booklets should be graded in the same way as record covers and sleeves. In general, the plastic containers for cassettes and CDs can easily be replaces if they are broken or scratched, but card covers and digipaks are subject to the same wear as record sleeves.
