There is some fine spindle wear, fine hairlines under bright light but in decent shape overall. Original poly lined inners with patent No's. Good order, light yellowing. Original wide spine laminated gatefold sleeve has no rips, splits, stickers or writing. Readable wide spine, inner gatefold in nice order, large inner printed booklet is still attached to inner gatefold as seen in pictures. Nice condition booklet. There is some laminate wear, scuffs, ring wear & light marks. Pretty good shape for age.

U.K. RECORD COLLECTOR.. 

RECORD GRADINGS.. 2016.. 

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. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint. 

EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of being 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 & 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. 

BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler. 

Once again thanks for looking & happy bidding...
