Vinyl Visual Grade: Near Mint (not a significant surface mark or deep scratch in sight, if there are any marks at all on this beautiful record they will be light paper scuffs from putting the record in and out of the sleeve, it looks to have been played quite a few times looking at spindle marks but the owner has looked after this supremely well and knows how to handle a delicate record, stunningly clean, label is immaculate on side 1 apart from the spindle marks, the label on side 2 is the same but it has slight wear round the the spindle hole, beautiful sheen to the record, as close to mint as you are probably going to get)

Album Cover Grade:  Excellent - (no significant edge or spine splits, only very very slight corner rubbing, there is some ever so slight 0.5 wear to the top centre edge, no laminate peeling, slight lifting on the top left rear only where the corner has been creased, very sturdy, only very slight creasing to the top left rear corner, and ever so slight ringwear to front and back but overall a very nice sleeve)

Record Collector 2008 Price Guide Book Price: £45 Mint

All records are graded in complete honesty and with the utmost scrutiny. All records listed have been playtested by me and will not jump, stick, or skip in any way. I have been collecting records now for approximately 12 years and have amassed quite a collection and have decided now is the time to reduce the collection in size. The quality of items listed generally varies but most of the time will be in Excellent condition or thereabouts. If it higher or lower than Excellent then it will be mentioned in full detail in the grading section above. Most of the records that will be listed will be from the 1950's, 1960's and early 1970s. The genre's will vary from prog rock, soul, reggae, rock n roll, beat, pop, psych. I will not be offering any classical records for sale though. I have some huge rarities in my collection and all will be up for sale at some point in the next year or so. Please be confident when buying from me as i have over 2300 positive feedback comments left for me and I have been trading on ebay for over 4 years. If you have any questions at all please do not hesitate to ask. Please also click on 'View seller's other items' on the right hand side of the page to see what i have on offer. All the pictures you see in the listings are taken with my own digital camera and my scanner. They will be 100% representative of what you will be purchasing from me. Good Luck !

Extra Notes : This LP is supposed to come with a cut out insert but unfortunately it is not present with this copy and has been misplaced. This LP is supposed to come with a plain white sleeve and not a red and white one as with earlier pressings and the plain white sleeve is present and intact.

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. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

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, discoloration, 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.
