Description
Hi and Welcome.
Here for sale, from my personal collection of 500+ vinyl LP's (all of which I will be selling), is an original 1976 US Cutout IPLS 9417, of The Upsetters - Super Ape. The track listing can be seen in the photos. The album has been owned from new and I would estimate it has been played around 12 times.
I have carefully cleaned the disc on a record cleaning machine, using 'The One' cleaning fluid and then listened to it all the way through to grade its condition, using The Record Collector's Grading System (please see the end of this Description section for details of Grading Categories and their definitions).
I have given it the following gradings:-
Vinyl LP : Ex
Cover : G+
Paper Inner Sleeve: VG
(The photographs should also help to verify the condition/gradings).
The Vinyl is audibly in excellent condition. There IS some light surface crackle between some of the tracks. I also, across the whole album, heard about 6 very short and very low level crackles during the actual music.
Visually, the vinyl is near mint on side 1. Side 2 has 4 marks but they evidently have hardly any impact on the playback. In fact, only 2 of the 6 short crackles were on this side.
The labels are in a excellent condition. The condition of the spindle holes show how little play the record has had.
The Cover is in good condition, having light vinyl ringmarks, front and back, some wear to the spine and edges and the cutout on the cover opening.
The original black paper inner sleeve is in very good condition, having very slight wear, vinyl ring marks and light creasing.
The Album will be despatched with the vinyl inside an archival quality anti-static, anti-dust/dirt, anti-scratch inner sleeve, then, along with the the album cover and the inner sleeve, placed inside a polythene outer sleeve. This will be sent in a double walled cardboard mailer for safety.
It will be sent free of charge via tracked Royal Mail 48hr delivery.
UK deliveries only. No deliveries to addresses outside of the UK.
Record Collectors Grading System
Mint (M)
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 the lyric sheet. booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records marked as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
Excellent (EX)
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.
Very Good (VG)
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.
Good (G)
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.
Fair (F)
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.
Poor (P)
The record will not play properly due to scratched, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
Bad (B)
The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
