CONDITION

SLEEVE: (G) FRONT LAMINATED GARROD & LOFTHOUSE LTD. UK FLIPBACK SLEEVE HAS 'PATENTS PENDING' TEXT. THE SLEEVE HAS GENERAL LIGHT WEAR FROM HANDLING AND STORAGE WITH A FEW LAMINATE CREASES TO THE FRONT AND  NO EDGE SCUFFING. RING WEAR TO FRONT WHEN VIEWED UNDER LIGHT AND LIGHT RUBBING TO THE CORNERS. THE UNLAMINATED BACK IS GRUBBY IN PLACES AND HAS A NAME WRITTEN IN FELT PEN TO TOP RIGHT CORNER. ALSO BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER HAS STICKER RESIDUE. THERE IS A TINY AREA ON NEXT TO OPENING EDGE WHERE THE PAPER SURFACE HAS LIFTED/SPLIT. 

SPINE: (VG+) ALL THE TEXT IS PERFECTLY READABLE WITH HEAVY STAINING / DISCOLOURATION. THE TOP AND BOTTOM CORNER ARE SLIGHTLY PINCHED-IN / PLEATED. NO SPLITS.  

INNER: (VG) PAPER INNER WITH NO TEXT. I AM PRETTY CERTAIN THIS IS NOT THE ORIGINAL. SOME DISCOLOURATION FROM AGE AND CREASING FROM STORAGE. NO SPLITS NO RIPS. NO WRITING. 

LABELS: SIDE 1 (VG) SIDE 2 (VG) BOTH LABELS ARE FREE FROM ANY UNWANTED WRITING & STICKERS WITH A FEW LIGHT SPINDLE MARKS AND SOME WEAR AROUND THE CENTRE HOLE. SIDE 1 HAS 'K' & 'T' CLEARLY EMBOSSED (SEE PICTURES).

PLAYING GRADE: SIDE1 (VG-) SIDE 2 (G+) BOTH SIDES HAVE BEEN CAREFULLY LISTENED TO ON BEYER-DYNAMIC DT-150 HEADPHONES ON A COUPLE OF SYSTEMS WITH A SHURE WHITE LABEL CARTRIDGE & STEREO NEEDLE & OVERALL BOTH SIDES PLAY NEAR VERY GOOD!! LIGHT BACKGROUND CRACKLE NOTICEABLE IN PLACES WITH SOME LIGHT CLICKS AND POPS ON BOTH SIDES. THE SOUND QUALITY IS GENERALLY VERY GOOD BUT A BIT WORN SOUNDING IN A COUPLE OF PLACES. THIS VINYL HAS BEEN STORED UNTOUCHED FOR 45 YEARS SO MAY BENEFIT FROM A PROFESSIONAL MACHINE CLEAN. NO SKIPS NO JUMPS NO DISTORTION! I AM BEING HIGHLY CRITICAL AND MY PLAY GRADE IS ALWAYS BASED ON WHAT I CAN HEAR ON BEYER-DYNAMIC DT-150 HEADPHONES WITH THE TREBLE TURNED UP FULL! EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO FIND IN ANY CONDITION ESPECIALLY AS A GENUINE MONO UK 1ST PRESSING ON THE RAINBOW CAPITOL LABEL! THE PRODUCTION ON THIS ALBUM IS SIMPLY AWESOME AND IS FAR SUPERIOR TO ANY DIGITAL REMASTER OR VINYL REPRESSING. A PRESENTABLE AND PLAYABLE COPY OF AN INCREASINGLY RARE BEACH BOYS CLASSIC NOT TO BE MISSED! JUDGE FOR YOURSELF AND LISTEN TO THE WHOLE ALBUM - CHECK THE LINK BELOW!!

GRADING

All records are graded using the Record Collector Grading System with (+) or (-) to show a slightly higher or lower grade.

M (Mint) : 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 lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition.

EX (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.

VG (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.

G (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, discolouration, etc.

F (Fair) : 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.

POSTAGE & PACKAGING

I always charge less postage than what it actually costs me. If the actual cost of postage is less then I will refund the difference. All records are posted fully insured. In the UK they are sent via Royal Mail 1st Class Recorded delivery (Special Delivery at no extra charge if the record is £50 or over). Overseas all records are posted via Royal Mail International Tracked & Signed, tracked or signed depending on what options are available. All vinyl is posted using correct card record mailers/cruciform boxes with at least 5 cardboard stiffners. The sleeve is always sent in a new poly outer and the vinyl is put in a new polylined paper inner outside of the sleeve to avoid splits/damage during transit. 7" vinyls sleeves are sent in a new PVC outer and the vinyl is put in a new card inner outside of sleeve. I will always do everything I can to guarantee that your record arrives in the same condition it leaves me.
