****************************************************************

This is an early UK pressing bought in the UK in 1971. It is complete with its original swirl inner sleeve. It is not a modern reissue. 

The vinyl is in superb condition with outstanding audio. I think that before my careful play-grading it may have been unplayed.

Description
Disc: The vinyl has retained its original sheen with almost nothing to see, even under bright, direct light - I would visually grade it as Near Mint (NM). I have played the whole album in full from start to finish and the audio is exceptional with nothing to report. For the sake of completeness I would mention some minor background noise in the run-ins/outs, fades, silent grooves and intros and the occasional random click, but there is nothing significant anywhere. I would play-grade side one as Near Mint (NM) and side two as Excellent Plus (Ex+) to Near Mint (NM).

Labels: No tears, stickers, writing etc, and just one tiny spindle marking on each side (from my play-through) suggesting that the record was possibly unplayed before this.

Sleeve: The textured sleeve has no seam splits, tears, writing, stickers etc, just some normal signs of age or handling, including some minor creasing, indentations and signs of use, plus storage wear to the edges and corners. There is some tiny touching-in near the leading edge, front and back.

Inner sleeve: The original Vertigo swirl inner sleeve is a nice example with no splits or tears, just some age-related discolouration, mainly near the edges.

Detracting features not covered above:  None.

All photographs are of the actual item for sale. Please ask any questions before you bid or buy.

Where gradings are given these are based on the UK Record Collector grading system (see below) and are visual gradings only, unless the listing specifically states that it is a play-grading.

I use the UK RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING SYSTEM. This grading system differs from some other grading systems, in particular the Goldmine grading system. Please make sure that you are familiar with the UK record collector grading system before you bid.

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.

Plus (+) or Minus (-) are added where items fall between gradings. I only ever use one plus or minus.
