Vinyl does still have have some sheen but has been well played which is no surprise for when this came out it was groundbreaking. Now there is nothing feel able and fully play tested plays through with no skips, sticks or jumps and strong audio with occasional surface in quieter bits. Lots of spindly hairlines and light surface scratches over both sides but as stated there is nothing feel able nor that detracts from enjoying play back. Labels are clean and complete with no stickers or writing and with spindle wear to the centres. Original UA company sleeve with obvious age related yellowing. Outer gatefold sleeve has no splits, stickers or writing and a solid spine with signs of wear and light wear around the edges in places too. Light storage wear and light marks in pretty good shape overall has survived well.

General U.K. record collector grading of..

Vinyl: VG - sounds much better

Sleeve: VG +

Labels: VG +

Not a minter but a holy grail for HAWKWIND fans in any condition and almost impossible to find mint these days 52 years later.

…

All records are properly play tested through headphones unless otherwise stated or still sealed.. All vinyl is also inspected under a bright halogen lamp and carefully graded.. I use the standard U.K. record collector grading system appreciating that opinions differ.. I never add more than one + or - to my gradings and never grade a record as M unless it’s bought new by myself and still sealed. Even then an M graded record is extremely rare in anyone’s grading system.

…

Vinyl is graded first then outer / inner sleeves, posters inserts etc. Vinyl is always separated from sleeve in transit. Record will come in a polythene protective sleeve with a new anti static inner sleeve when the inner is printed or a new one is required. Posted with two record stiffeners in sturdy vinyl mailer. Vinyl is always posted signed for, insured with proof of postage also retained. Any international postage is also always signed for, tracked and with healthy insurance.

…

Vinyl can be combined, up to three thin spine or two wide spine per mailer. Spine size is generally stated in my listings to give buyers an idea of potential postage combining. I always provide new mailers / packing material etc. If you wish to combine postage please just drop me a mail stating your intentions thank you..

…

Payment is respectfully expected within three days of the auction ending.. Order may be cancelled and re listed otherwise..

Quick Pay = Quick Post

ANY Problems at all please get in touch and just let me know.. IF You are unsatisfied in any way with your purchase please do not leave any feedback without contacting me first to resolve the issue.. I will always try to provide an honest description of all my vinyl and I am confident with my many years of experience that I always offer a good service... However I am only human and as stated early i appreciate that opinions differ so if you disagree with any of my gradings or policies please just get in touch and let me know.. Thank you
