Vinyl Cleaning / Storing
The Vinyl Has Been Professionally Cleaned On My Clear Audio Double Matrix Sonic Record Cleaner Prior To Play Grading, & Both Records Now Sit Housed In Nagaoka Anti Static Inner Sleeves Inside A Standalone Thick White Card Inner 
Grading
The Vinyl Has Been Fully Play Graded & Visually Graded Below In Accordance With The Rare Record Price Guides Grading System (RRPG) :
Cover (Strict & In Align With The RRPG Grading Standard): Fair ( I Assume At Some Point The Original Owner Thought It Would Be Easier To Have Not Just The Top Seam Open But The One Side Of The Self Made Cover Also Open - It Is Only White Tape That's Originally Been Put On Both Sides Of The Cover To Bond It All Together, So Id Imagine Replacing The One Side Of 'Now Opened' White Aged Tape, Shouldn't' Be Too Much Of A Challenge - I Have Clearly Photographed This Pulled Open To Show The One Side Now Open - Aside From This, All Other Aspects Of The Cover Grade Very Good+! )
Vinyl Side 1 Visual: Very Good+ Has A Couple Of VERY Faint Hairline Surface Scratches & 1 Feelable 2cm Scratch Which Thankfully From A Cosmetic Perspective Runs Parallel With The Groove So Is Quite Difficult To Spot - It Still Retains Its Original Lustre ) Vinyl Side 2 Visual: Very Good+ ( Has A Couple Of VERY Faint Hairline Surface Scratches - Still Retains Its Original Lustre )
Conclusion On Visual Grading: Overall A Very Respectable Copy And Whilst Not Mint, It's Graced My Personal Collection For A Number Of Years Now!
Vinyl Side 1 Track By Track Play Grade:  1. Very Good+ ( Vocal Is Slightly Muffled - Has A Small Handful Of Light Pops Half Way Through  ) 2. Excellent 3. Very Good+ ( Has 1 Pop On The Second Line Of The First Chorus & 1 'Millisecond' Of Distortion  On The First Word Of The Last Chorus, Otherwise Aside From These 2 Tony Noted Defects, Audio Playback Is Excellent ! ) 4. Excellent 5. Excellent ( Has 1 Tiny Tick Three Quarters The Way Through ) 6. Excellent ( Has 3 Small Flat Sounding Ticks Half Way Through  )
Vinyl Side 2 Track By Track Play Grade:  1. Excellent 2. Excellent 3. Very Good+ / Excellent  ( Has Some Very Minor Ticks, Negligible In The Overall Audio Playback But Worth Noting For Clarity! ) 4. Very Good+ / Excellent ( Has Ever So Slight Distortion On The Higher Notes Sung In The Chorus ) 5. Excellent ( Has 2 Small Ticks In The Run Out Of The Track )  6. Excellent 7. Excellent
All 4 Original Inserts Grade: Excellent

Record Grading System Explained
Mint Description: 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 advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint
Excellent Description: 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 Description: 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 Description: 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, discoloration, etc.
Fair Description: 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.
