Really lovely looking and sounding copy of the infamous 'loud cut' first pressing of this album. The vinyl is in great condition with only some very light markings visible when viewed under strong light. I would grade a very strong EX as on first glance the vinyl looks pristine. I have listened to the album a few times on a Goldring Lenco GL75 turntable and it plays beautifully with almost no background noise at all. Whilst there maybe some very minor visual imperfections and some wear to the labels in my opinion it would be pretty hard to find a cleaner sounding copy, so overall I would grade EX+.
The Garod & Lofthouse flipback sleeve suffers from some light creasing and discoloration on the rear but has a lovely legible spine (see pics). I would grade as EX-.
Happy bidding!
Please note I use UK Record Collector grading system for all albums with the addition of the accepted Near Mint category:
MINT: 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 condition.
NEAR MINT: The record appears new but is known to have been played because the label has light spindle marks or because it has come from a previous owner
and is assumed to have been played by them
EXCELLENT: 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: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays 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 major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches.
The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.
FAIR: 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: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc.
The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler.
I try to be as accurate as possible, however, we are all human so if there are any problems please let me know.
