Visual: Ex
Pristine deep-gloss playing surfaces which have very minor surface marks not affecting the play. There are a few tiny stylus hairlines & wispy paper hairlines consistent with inner-sleeve removal. Both sides of this barely played disc lie 100% flat on the turntable when playing.
Cover: VG++ A 1st class example of this iconic cover which has been carefully stored and well looked after. There are a couple of minor tears to the cover about 6mm long each, however it is not noticeable unless under close inspection.
All our records are sent in professional mailers with stiffeners.
Record Collector Magazine's Grading Guide:
"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, 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.
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."
