INNER: (VG+) PLAIN WHITE PAPER INNER SLEEVE WITH  'MADE IN ENGLAND' AND 'BRITISH PATENT NO. 1,125,555' TEXT. OBVIOUSLY NOT THE ORIGINAL BUT THIS IS HOW IT WAS DISOCVERED. SLIGHT DISCOLOURATION FROM AGE AND STORAGE WITH A FEW CREASES. NO WRITING NO RIPS NO SPLITS AND NO STICKERS.

POSTCARD: (VG-) WHITE MERCURY POSTCARD PAPER MAILING LIST FORM HAS A HEAVY CREASE AT ONE END. DISCOLOURATION FROM AGE AND STORAGE WITH A FEW CREASES. NO WRITING NO RIPS NO SPLITS AND NO STICKERS.

LABELS: SIDE 1 (NEAR MINT) SIDE 2 (EX+) BOTH LABELS ARE FREE FROM ANY UNWANTED WRITING & STICKERS WITH ONLY A TRACE SPINDLE MARK ON EACH SIDE. A COUPLE OF LIGHT STAINS ON THE SIDE 2. NO WRITING NO STICKERS NO DISCOLOURATION

VINYL VISUALLY: (EX+) BOTH SIDES ARE FLAT & GLOSSY. IF YOU CLOSELY EXAMINE BOTH SIDES WHEN ANGLED UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT ALL YOU CAN SEE IS A COUPLE OF SMALL SCUFFS AND SOME LIGHT WISPY PAPER SCUFFS & HAIRLINES BUT YOU HAVE TO LOOK EXTREMELY HARD TO SEE THEM! THIS RECORD HAS ONLY BEEN PLAYED A FEW TIMES AND RARELY HANDLED. THIS VINYL HAS BEEN STORED UNTOUCHED FOR OVER 35 YEARS AND THERE IS A LITTLE SURFACE DUST. 

PLAYING GRADE: (EX+) BOTH SIDES HAVE BEEN CAREFULLY LISTENED TO ON HEADPHONES ON A COUPLE OF SYSTEMS WITH A SHURE WHITE LABEL CARTRIDGE & STEREO NEEDLE. THE QUIETER PARTS OF THE MUSIC PLAY AT LEAST EXCELLENT AND THE LOUDER MUSIC PLAYS MINT!! THE VINYL IS A LITTLE DUSTY AND THE QUIETER MUSIC HAS OCCASIONAL LIGHT BACKGROUND STATIC/CRACKLE. THIS VINYL HAS BEEN STORED UNTOUCHED FOR OVER 35 YEARS SO OBVIOUSLY THERE HAS BEEN A BUILD UP OF DUST IN THE GROOVES. WHEN A VINYL LOOKS THIS CLOSE TO MINT I AM RELUCANT TO EVEN TOUCH IT LET ALONG CLEAN IT!! ALL I DID BEFORE MY ONE PLAY WAS GENTLE WIPE OFF THE SURFACE DUST WITH A SPECIALIST RECORD CLEANING CLOTH. MORE PLAYS WOULD DISLODGE SOME OF THE DUST BUT A RECORD OF THIS INCREASING VALUE AND IN THIS SORT OF CONDITION SHOULD BE CAREFULLY LOOKED AFTER. IF THIS VINYL WERE TO BE PROFESSIONALLY MACHINE CLEANED THEN IT MAY PLAY EVEN BETTER!! I AM BEING HIGHLY CRITICAL AND MY PLAY GRADE IS ALWAYS BASED ON WHAT I CAN HEAR ON BEYER-DYNAMIC DT-150 HEADPHONES WITH THE TREBLE TURNED UP FULL. INCREDIBLE CONDITION AND CERTAINLY A COPY THAT YOU WOULD NEVER HAVE TO UPGRADE!!

EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO FIND IN ANY CONDITION!!

DON`T MISS OUT ON THIS!!

GRADING

All records are graded using the Record Collector Grading System with (+) or (-) to show a slightly higher or lower grade.

M (Mint) : 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 lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition.

EX (Excellent): 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.

VG (Very Good) : 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.

G (Good) : 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, discolouration, etc.

F (Fair) : 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.
