A Very Good+ condition disc. Quite a few very fine hairline marks which can mainly be seen under a strong light. No skips, jumps, warps, sticking, deep scratches, scuffs, or writing on labels. Good sound quality throughout, with some occasional minor surface noise. Tested on a Thorens turntable.
Gatefold sleeve in Very Good+ condition. Embossed image on front of sleeve. Some minor wear to corners, and general age-related discolouration in places, in common with most 40-year old LP's with white sleeves. Spine in very good condition, and all text is still clearly legible. No writing anywhere.
Original die-cut Inner Sleeve, has original early design, with three shaped corners, and is in Very Good condition. No major creasing. No writing anywhere. There is a 10cm seam split to the lower edge.
** This LP will be shipped with an additional (non-original) plain white inner sleeve, to protect the item during transit **
GRADING:
All records are graded using the 'Record Collector' format:
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 advertised 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, discoloration, 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 scratches, 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.
UK Payment - Paypal, bank transfer, or cleared cheque from a UK bank.
Non-UK payment - Paypal only.
