STRICT GRADING, bid with confidence.

condition:

            record: VG+ (Let me explain why this stunning condition LP is strictly graded as VG+! In the early 70s

                                a few record companies thought it would be a novel idea to present an LP in a plastic liner

                                instead of the usual paper sleeves. These plastic liners were attached to the sleeve and to

                                stop the record falling out there was a thin foam strip at the opening edge. Invariably and

                                almost unavoidably the record in storage would touch the foam strip which would then

                                compress into the grooves at the edge of the record leaving a permanent mark. This LP

                                is no exception, with a single patch about 3cm long and stretching about 6mm in to the

                                grooves. When played there is some crackle when the stylus touches the patch, but there

                                are no scratches and no jumps. Otherwise the LP has a few blemishes in the vinyl and some

                                very light hairlines probably caused by sliding in and out of the plastic liner! The vinyl is in

                                lovely condition with a nice sheen but does have a spot of background crackle.) 

            sleeve: EX+  (This is a laminated wraparound gatefold sleeve.

                               Absolutely awesome condition for this delicate, thin card wraparound sleeve.

                               Both front and back of the sleeve are in spectacular undamaged condition. No tears, no

                               creases, totally flat and like the day it was in the shop.

                               The fully readable spine is perfect, uncrushed, uncreased and totally undamaged.

                               The inside of the gatefold is unlaminated and perfect. Totally undamaged.

                               The only fault, and a very small one, is there is a 5cm piece of the foam strip missing

                                from the plastic liner. Otherwise the liner is also fully intact.

                               All edges are perfect, razor sharp with no damage at all.

                               There is no writing or stickers on the record or the sleeve.

                               A fantastic copy of this MEGA rare LP, rarely offered for sale. STRICTLY GRADED.)
