FULLY LAMINATED SINGLE TYPE SLEEVE WITH SOME LIGHT CREASING AND SMALL AMOUNT OF LAMINATE LIFT ON SPINE SIDE BUT NO RIPS / TARES / SPLITS OR WRITING ETC AND HAS A FULLY LEGIBLE SPINE...VG

THE VINYL HAS SOME SURFACE MARKS BUT NO DEEP FEEL-ABLE SCRATCHES THAT CAN BE FELT TO THE TOUCH...HOWEVER IT DOES HAVE A SMALL WARP RIGHT ON THE EDGE OF THE RECORD AND ONLY JUST ENCROACH'S ON TO THE VERY BEGINNING OF THE FIRST TRACK SIDE 1-2 BUT I HAVE PLAYED IT BOTH SIDES AND IT PLAYED WITHOUT SKIPPING OR JUMPING ON MY HI-FI SYSTEM AND THE WHOLE ALBUM PLAYED FINE OTHER THAN SOME LIGHT CRACKLE ON SOME QUIETER PARTS. I HAVE TRIED TO SHOW THIS IN THE PHOTOGRAPHS BUT IT IS VERY SMALL AND HARDLY NOTICEABLE. (PLEASE / PLEASE) TAKE NOTE OF THIS DESCRIPTION BEFORE BIDDING. IF THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE TO YOU THEN THIS COPY MAY NOT BE THE ONE YOUR LOOKING FOR. SO FOR THE REASON LISTED ABOVE I WILL ONLY GRADE LIST THIS AS..'GOOD' OTHERWISE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN VG GRADE. 

THIS IS SO RARE AS A 1ST UK PRESSING ON THE BLUE LIBERTY LABEL EVEN WITH THIS SMALL ISSUE SO GRAB IT WHILE YOU CAN BUT PLEASE BID ACCORDINGLY.

MINT... RECORD IN AS NEW CONDITION AND POSSIBLY STILL SEALED

Nr MINT... NOT QUITE MINT BUT BETTER THAN EX. MIGHT HAVE BEEN PLAYED ONCE OR TWICE ONLY

EX...THE RECORD SHOWS SOME SIGNS OF HAVING BEEN PLAYED, BUT THERE IS VERY LITTLE LESSENING IN SOUND QUALITY. SLEEVE MIGHT HAVE SLIGHT WEAR AND/OR CREASING/SCUFF

V.G...THE RECORD HAS OBVIOUSLY BEEN PLAYED MANY TIMES BUT DISPLAYS NO MAJOR DETERIORATION IN SOUND QUALITY DESPITE NOTICEABLE SURFACE MARKS AND THE OCCASIONAL LIGHT SCRATCHES AND CRACKLE. NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ON THE COVER IE.. SCUFFS / SPLIT / STICKER MARK ETC BUT WITHOUT MAJOR DEFECTS IS ACCEPTABLE.

GOOD....THE RECORD HAS OBVIOUSLY BEEN PLAYED SO MUCH THAT THE SOUND QUALITY HAS NOTICEABLY DETERIORATED WITH SOME DISTORSION AND MILD SCRATCHES. THE COVER AND CONTENTS SUFFER FROM FOLDING / SCUFFING OF EDGES / SPLITS / DISCOLOURATION  ETC.

FAIR / POOR / BAD/ THESE WILL ONLY BE LISTED AS COLLECTION FILLERS DUE TO CONDITION.
