GRADING - All of my records are carefully visually graded under bright light and fully play graded before auction.

The Record is visually graded Excellent

The Record Labels are graded Excellent

The Cover is graded Mint Minus

The sound quality is near perfect.

Record

The record has a beautiful glossy appearance, lays 100% flat on the turntable and has no warping. Viewing under bright light there are light thin hair-lines present and also some small superficial marks. There are no stylus scratches and nothing at all that affected play. The record is graded Excellent.

Labels

The harvest labels are in lovely condition with some very minor spots of discolouration seen under bright light if being critical. The spindle hole shows no wear and there are just two to three visible spindle line trails per side when viewed in bright light. The labels are graded Excellent

Cover

The un-laminated gatefold cover is in simply stunning condition with hardly a blemish worthy of comment. The front has retained its full colour and shows off the staggering artwork incredibly! The pale rear cover is almost as fine save for the tiniest record impression towards the top of sleeve. This is so minute and can only be seen if viewed in strong light. It is hardly worth a comment but I like to mention every aspect. There is of course absolutely no ring wear or blemishes of any other kind throughout the sleeve. The gatefold interior is spotless and in virtually perfect condition. All of the cover edges are straight and unworn. The spine is uncompressed and the spine text is clear and legible. All of the corners are near perfect with no wear. Overall a fantastic cover which grades at Mint Minus.

Inner Sleeve

The original inner is the familiar EMI advert inner sleeve which is in excellent condition with no tears or seam splits.

Sound Quality

The rarity of this album is not enough alone to sell itself in my opinion, and so as with all of the records I list a play grade is essential. The sound quality of this record is superb throughout. There is no crackle, hiss or popping and no distortion from groove wear. The run in and between track grooves are near silent. This is altogether a wonderful playing album playing well above even its excellent visual grading.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS – PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

All of my listed records are carefully visually inspected under bright light and play graded before auction to avoid any disappointment to buyers, so bid with confidence.

The grading system I use is from Record Collector: - Mint, Excellent, Very Good with +/- to distinguish borderline grades (see below)

Mint. This is in brand new un-played condition.

Excellent. Some signs of being played, but very little lessening of sound quality. There can be minor cover wear and/or creasing.

Very Good. The record has visual evidence of many plays including noticeable surface marks and light scratches. There should be no major deterioration of sound quality however. The cover can have light/moderate wear but no major defects.

A full no quibble refund for the cost of the record will be offered if you are not satisfied for ANY reason.

I treat all vinyl with the greatest respect whether £5 or £50, so all records are sent out with plastic covers in professional mailers and two protective cardboard stiffeners. I always separate records from their covers and original inner sleeves

for posting to prevent seam splits occurring during shipping.

It is the buyer’s responsibility to take out any insurance cover required. I would advise insurance to be taken out on any item sale greater than £30.00 as protection against loss or damage during shipping. Without this additional insurance the full value of items above £30.00 that are lost or damaged will NOT be able to be recovered.

Following the close of the auction I will send an invoice within twenty four hours. All winning bidders must make contact within three days of the end of the auction or I reserve the right to withdraw the item or select the second chance option and offer the item to another bidder.

Please do not bid if you have significant negative feedback unless checking first please.
