VINYL (VISUAL)

Spectacular Vinyl, Nice bright and shiny as if they were just pressed.

Fantastic jet black mirror like surfaces, they look Brilliant with NO MARKS whatsoever. 

   GRADED; NR MINT

VINYL (PLAY GRADED)

It plays MINT ON ALL FOUR SIDES, with fantastic stereo and clarity, it really sounds incredible with no hisses, pops, crackle or distortion.

I don’t think this could have been played much at all.

It is as good as you can get, truly mint.

It really does play with a deep bass and clarity;

It’s a fantastic record.

  GRADED; MINT

SLEEVE

Cover by David King and printed by Howards of Slough taken from the original E.J Day cover.

Fully Laminated gatefold sleeve complete with the original poly lined inners. 

Impossible to find this sleeve in anything approaching a good condition, most are spent, torn and worn due to age and the lifestyles of the buyers of this particular LP. 

This one HOWEVER is NOT, and looks FANTASTIC, especially considering the nature of these fragile sleeves, no bad marks at all, no seam splits, and still strong and solid after all these years. Only has a few minor signs of shelf & ring wear and corner crease (as with most) all of which you can clearly see in the large amount of photos I have taken so you can see it from every angle.

The only real blemish is a slight knock on the spine (see photo) this could possibly be repaired, this is only on the surface and does not go through, but apart from that this is a BRILLIANT sleeve, and a TRUE rarity to find one as awesome as this.

The spine remains square strong and solid with no other wear (apart from above).

The legendary "nude" gatefold sleeve would have been in an Excellent condition had it not been for the knock on the spine, but because of that I will grade it as;

  GRADED; VERY GOOD

INNER SLEEVE

The inner sleeves are the original poly lined liners,

A&D MADE IN ENGLAND 4913000 15804   (920)

B&C MADE IN ENGLAND 4913000 15804   (920)

They are like new no splits or writing or anything.

  GRADED; MINT

LABELS

Orange Polydor, bright and clean with no marks whatsoever.

Made in England set no 2657- 012 is the catalogue number on the labels.

LABELS;

2310269 A MINT, 2310269 D MINT.

2310270 B MINT, 2310270 C MINT. 

All sides have NO signs of use.

RECAP;

VINYL IS MINT ALL SIDES, AND ARE VERY GLOSSY, NO GREYING OF THE VINYL.

I HAVE LOOKED AS CLOSE AS I CAN AND CANNOT SEE ANY MARKS WHATSOEVER NOT EVEN FAINT WISPY ONES.

SOUND QUALITY IS FANTASTIC, PLAYS WITH NO HISS, POPS OR CLICKS, THE LABELS ARE EXCELLENT AND THE POLY LINED INNERS ARE LIKE NEW, THE NUDE GATEFOLD SLEEVE IS IN A GREAT CONDITION APART FROM THE KNOCK.

SO OVERALL AN ABSOLUTELY STUNNING EXAMPLE, BECOMING MORE COLLECTABLE THAN EVER.

All my records are graded using the

Record Collector Magazine's Grading Guide

MINT:
The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks
or deterioration in sound quality.
The cover and any extra items are in perfect condition.
Records advertised as sealed or un-played should be mint.

EXCELLENT:
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:
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:
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:
The record is still just playable but it 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.
