CONDITION

**When grading my items I follow Record Collector magazine's grading guide.** Therefore the front laminate picture sleeve has a few light creases, only really noticable when angled to the light, still has original old price label on front, the spine is great, crisp and clear, the sleeve overall rates excellent - , the labels = excellent, the 'a' side vinyl, the first track, + part of the second track, has a light, noticable scuff on it, this causes about 6 light clicks at the start of the first track, (please click on the eCommercePlayer  link below to hear this part + to hear how great the other parts of the album sound), so, apart from the start, the rest of the 'a' side plays great, visually grades very good + but overall a great sound, the 'b' side visually grades excellent -, but again plays great.    

RECORD COLLECTORS GRADING GUIDE

** MINT = I NEVER REALLY USE THIS GRADE,  BUT IF I DID IT WOULD MEAN THAT THE ITEM IS IN A FACTORY FRESH CONDITION.                                                           EXCELLENT = RECORD SHOWS SOME SIGNS OF HAVING BEEN PLAYED, BUT THERE IS VERY LITTLE LESSENING IN SOUND QUALITY.  THE COVER AND PACKAGING MIGHT HAVE SOME SLIGHT WEAR AND/OR CREASING.                                                         VERY GOOD = THE RECORD HAS OBVIOUSLY BEEN PLAYED MANY TIMES, BUT DISPLAYS NO MAJOR DETERIORATION IN SOUND QUALITY, DESPITE NOTICABLE SURFACE MARKS AND THE OCCASIONAL LIGHT SCRATCH.  NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ON THE COVER AND EXTRA ITEMS, WITHOUT ANY MAJOR DEFECTS.           THE GRADES MIGHT BE TWEAKED BY  +  AND  -  's.**
