Condition:
Vinyl:   *Excellent. Clear, bright vinyl, with excellent sound.
Sleeve: *Excellent. Half laminated sleeve with slight lifting of the lamination
            along the left-hand edge (see photo). Because test pressings are not
            generally available with a sleeve, I have only managed to get a display sleeve
            for this LP, which is perfectly OK except there is a very large rubber stamp
            on the back cover saying "For Display Only" (see photo).
Labels: *Excellent. Blank sample labels with hand written details
*Please see description categories listed below.

*The description for this item is based on the standards originated by Record Collector Magazine for the condition
and quality of second-hand records offered for sale. The categories and their descriptions are listed below:

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.
