Description
You are bidding on a superb copy of a now very rare release.
?
The sleeve has some fairly normal wear and tear, but still has the original warning sticker, while the inner sleeve is near-perfect. The vinyl, on the other hand, is exceptional - I can't see a mark on it and it looks like it might not have been played at all. I have briefly play-tested a few tracks and it sounds excellent.
?
On the record collector grading system (reproduced below) I would grade this as:
?
Sleeve: VG to EX
Vinyl: EX to M
?
The most recent copies sold on here have gone for between £105 and £120, so I have added a buy it now price which reflects this, and a similar starting price. I will package the item carefully, re-using packaging which has been used to deliver vinyl very safely to me.
?
Payment must be by PayPal, and must be within 24 hours of the auction ending. I always raise unpaid item cases.

RECORD COLLECTOR’S 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 condition. 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 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 (G) 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 (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
