COVER : VERY GOOD +, these sleeves can come in single or gatefold sleeve. This one is a single. All these sleeves can have some ring marks, stains, writing on them, small tears, staple marks, foxing, coffee stains etc. Hopefully, not all have these things together though. This is a generalization over all of the defects they may have.
LABELS : EXCELLENT, a few spindle traces.

THESE LPS HAVE BEEN SITTING IN A CUPBOARD FOR 40 ODD YEARS, WITH DUST GETTING INTO THE SLEEVES AND INTO THE GROOVES. I HAVE CLEANED AND PLAYED EACH LP AND MY GRADING IS BASED ON LISTENING AS WELL AS VISUAL. SO PLEASE DON'T BID IF YOU DON'T LIKE SOME STATIC, CRACKLE OR THE OCCASIONAL POPS/CLICKS, BECAUSE MOST OF THE BBC TRANSCRIPTION LPS I WILL PUT UP FOR AUCTION DO PLAY WITH STATIC AND SOME CRACKLE AND THE OCCASIONAL POPS/CLICKS WHICH WILL VARY WITH EACH LP. BEWARE OF BLACK/WHITE LABEL BOOTLEG / COUNTERFEITS. UK pressing on the BBC TRANSCRIPTION label, cat. no. 554 RECORDS MADE FOR THE RADIO STATIONS AIRPLAY ONLY. THEY WERE SENT TO ALL COMMONWEALTH COUNTRIES, BBC, ABC (OR SIMILAR) RADIO BROADCASTERS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. THEY WERE NOT MADE IN BIG NUMBERS AND DEFINITELY NOT MADE FOR PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION. MAYBE 50 - 100 OR SO IN THE WORLD. WHAT MAKES THEM EXTREMELY DESIRABLE TO COLLECTORS IS THE FACT THAT A LOT OF THE RECORDINGS ON THE BBC TRANSCRIPTION ALBUMS ARE SONGS THE ARTISTS DID LIVE IN THE BBC STUDIOS AND ONLY FOR THAT PARTICULAR DISC AND THAT TIME ONLY, TRUE ONE OFF'S, SO THEY ARE UNHEARD GEMS THAT NOT MANY PEOPLE WILL GET AROUND TO LISTEN TO. THIS MAKES THEM VERY RARE AND WORTH HAVING, IF THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE INTO. VERY RARELY COME UP FOR SALE, SO NOT MANY AVAILABLE TO BUY THESE DAYS. THEY ARE ALSO WELL KNOWN FOR THEIR GREAT SOUND QUALITY. GRADES BELOW CAN HAVE A + UPGRADE TO THEM IF NEEDED Near Mint: The vinyl appears mint in normal indoor light. If there is a defect, it should be very hard to see in normal indoor light.
