****************************************************************
This is for three early pressings bought in the UK at, or shortly after, the time of first release. They are not modern reissues. Please note that all three have water-damaged covers.
Still: discs (all say TOWNHOUSE) = three sides are around Ex, but side 2 has a visible surface scratch line and is VG, cover = VG- (would be higher apart from damp mark), inner sleeves = VG.
Unknown Pleasures: disc (does not say 'A Porky Prime Cut' or TOWNHOUSE) = Ex- or a strong VG+ (but it is slightly dished), cover = G (has inked-in water damage as shown in the photo), inner = F (no splits but has horrible foxing marks and stains).
Gag: disc = Ex- on one side, VG on the other, cover = F (surface damage as shown which has been touched-in around the artist's name, and creasing at the opening) inner = Plain.
Detracting features not covered above: None. All three have decent vinyl, but the covers let them down.
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.
