THE SLEEVE

THE SUPERBLY ILLUSTRATED FRONT-LAMINATED PICTURE SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, WITH SOME LIGHT WEAR AND A HINT OF A CREASE TO ONE CORNER. THERE ARE A FEW TINY WRINKLES IN THE LAMINATION AND THERE IS SOME SLIGHT TANNING TO THE BACK OF THE SLEEVE. THE EDGES ARE NICE AND STRAIGHT AND THE TEXT ON THE SPINE IS ALL FULLY LEGIBLE.

THE VINYL

VISUALLY THE BLACK VINYL APPEARS TO BE IS IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION. UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT I CAN ONLY SEE A FEW TINY OF MARKS. I HAVE FULLY PLAYED THIS AMAZING ALBUM AND CAN CONFIRM THAT THE SOUND QUALITY IS SUPERB THROUGHOUT.

RECORD COLLECTOR 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 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, DISCOLOURATION, ETC.

THE USE OF PLUS (+) OR MINUS (-) ALLOWS FOR ITEMS THAT FALL BETWEEN THE ABOVE GRADES.
