VINYL VISUALLY: SIDE 1 (VG) SIDE 2 (VG-) BOTH SIDES ARE FLAT AND GLOSSY WHEN ANGLED UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT SIDE 1 HAS SOME LIGHT PAPER SCUFFS AND SEVERAL HAIRLINES - ONE IS VERY LONG AND STARTS IN THE CENTRE RUN-OUT AND GOES RIGHT ACROSS TO THE RUN-IN BUT DOESN'T CAUSE ANY PROBLEMS! SIDE TWO HAS LOTS OF LIGHT PAPER SCUFFS AND SEVERAL LONG WISPY HAIRLINES. MOST OF THE THESE MARKS CAN ONLY BE SEEN WHEN ANGLED UNDER BRIGHT. THIS RECORD HAS OBVIOUSLY BEEN PLAYED MANY TIMES BUT HAS NOT BEEN TRASHED AND STILL HAS PLENTY OF LIFE!! HARD TO FIND IN ANY CONDITION!
PLAYING GRADE: SIDE 1 (EX-) SIDE 2 (EX) BOTH SIDES HAVE BEEN CAREFULLY LISTENED TO ON BEYER-DYNAMIC DT-150 HEADPHONES ON A COUPLE OF SYSTEMS WITH A SHURE WHITE LABEL CARTRIDGE & STEREO NEEDLE & BOTH SIDES PLAY AT LEAST VERY GOOD PLUS WITH THE LOUDER MAJORITY PLAYING EXCELLENT IF NOT HIGHER! LIGHT BACKGROUND STATIC/CRACKLE NOTICEABLE IN PLACES DURING THE RUN-INS AT THE START OF BOTH SIDES AND IN PLACES DURING THE QUIETER MUSIC. NO SKIPS NO JUMPS NO DISTORTION! THIS VINYL HAS BEEN STORED UNTOUCHED FOR OVER 40 YEARS SO MAY BENEFIT FROM A PROFESSIONALLY MACHINE CLEANED. I AM BEING HIGHLY CRITICAL AND MY PLAY GRADE IS ALWAYS BASED ON WHAT I CAN HEAR ON BEYER-DYNAMIC DT-150 HEADPHONES WITH THE TREBLE TURNED UP FULL! EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO FIND IN ANY CONDITION ESPECIALLY AS A GENUINE UK 1ST PRESSING! THE PRODUCTION ON THIS ALBUM IS SIMPLY AWESOME AND IS FAR SUPERIOR TO ANY DIGITAL REMASTER OR VINYL REPRESSING. A PRESENTABLE AND GREAT PLAYING COPY OF AN INCREASINGLY RARE THE WHO CLASSIC NOT TO BE MISSED!!
EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO FIND IN ANY CONDITION!!
DON`T MISS OUT ON THIS!!
GRADING
All records are graded using the Record Collector Grading System with (+) or (-) to show a slightly higher or lower grade.
M (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 lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition.
EX (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.
VG (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.
G (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.
F (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.
