GENESIS: A Winter's Tale Demonstration sample (promo) in excellent condition.Record is in excellent condition with minimal wear from play, a few hairline marks on either side and a couple of faint scratches on the B-side, and one tiny mark on the A-side, otherwise the surface looks pretty good and I'd grade it a strong EX/EX+. There is one spindle mark near the centre on the A-side and someone has written 9" on the label above the centre-hole (see photo) in pencil which I am fairly sure is an original studio annotation referring to the tape used, and there are a few spindle marks on the B-side, which are visible in the photo.
The sleeve is excellent with minimal wear from handling, but looks pretty good for its age. I'd grade it a very strong EX/EX-. Domestic shipping by Special Delivery is free, for International shipping it's DHL.
NB: I am a private collector and have been collecting vinyl records – on and off, for well over 40 years, but now I really need the space, hence the reason for these listings! Media (record) graded first — visually under LED lighting, followed by the sleeve.
- Media Condition: EX+ (A-side) / EX (B-side)
- Sleeve Condition: EX
Grading system
I use the standard grading system introduced by Record Collector to determine the condition of the records I am selling, with either a + or – added where necessary to provide a wider selection of grades for greater accuracy.
- 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, discoloration, etc. - Fair (F)
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 (P)
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 (B)
The record is unplayable or might even be broken and is only of use as a collection-filler.
