THE SLEEVE

THE SUPERBLY ILLUSTRATED SLEEVE IS STILL 95% PROTECTED BY IT'S ORIGINAL FACTORY SHRINKWRAP. THE SHRINK HAS BEEN NEATLY SLICED OPEN TO ALLOW ACCESS TO THE PRECIOUS CONTENTS INSIDE. THE SLEEVE HAS TWO STICKERS STILL IN PLACE BENEATH THE SHRINKWRAP. ONE IS INFORM THAT "INCLUDES SINGLES ..." ETC AND THE OTHER IS THE ORIGINAL HMV PRICE STICKER. THIS PERFECT SLEEVE IS IN MINT CONDITION. I RARELY SAY THIS BUT IT APPEARS TO BE FLAWLESS.

THE INNER SLEEVE

THE GLOSSY BLACK & WHITE INNER SLEEVE WITH LYRICS, NOTES AND STORY IS IN MINT CONDITION. AGAIN IT APPEARS TO BE FLAWLESS.  

THE VINYL

VISUALLY THE GLOSSY BLACK VINYL IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT I CANNOT SEE ANY MARKS AT ALL. I HAVE FULLY PLAYED THIS GREAT RECORD AND CAN CONFIRM THAT THE SOUND QUALITY IS NEAR MINT THROUGHOUT. THE ONLY REASON I CAN'T DESCRIBE IT AS MINT IS BECAUSE IT IS NOT NEW - I HAVE PLAYED IT ONCE.

RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING SYSTEM

MINT (M) 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 (EX) 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 (VG) 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 (G) 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.

THE USE OF PLUS (+) OR MINUS (-) ALLOWS FOR ITEMS THAT FALL BETWEEN THE ABOVE GRADES.
