GRADING - All of my records are carefully visually graded under bright light and fully play graded before auction.
The Record is visually graded Mint
The Record Labels are graded Mint
The Cover is graded Mint Minus
The sound quality is Perfect
Record
The record has a superb stunning as new appearance, lays 100% flat on the turntable and has no warping. In normal or bright light, there are no marks at all, not even a hairline. This record is in totally mint unplayed condition! It isn`t often that a record of this age can qualify as mint but this one is a stunning exception and is absolutely perfect!
Labels
The black and silver mercury labels are in perfect condition with no spindle hole wear or any spindle lines at all. From this evidence it is unlikely that this record has ever been played. The labels are graded Mint
Cover
The fantastic gatefold cover designed of course by The Fool themselves is in superb condition. It is laminated on the front and back, the back containing the song titles and printed lyrics. Both the front and back are in virtually shop condition with full gloss illustrating the superb cover design. There is no wear to any of the edges and just a slight rub to the upper and lower spine corners. The gatefold interior is fine with more intricate artwork. The only comment for the interior I would make is that you can see a very light ring impression mark at the cover top and a few tiny colour marks that have transferred from one side of the gatefold to the other through storage. All this is extremely minor of course and I`m happy to grade the cover Mint Minus.
Inner Sleeve- The record comes in a plain white inner sleeve
Sound Quality – I have given this one very careful play and it plays as a mint shop condition record! Perfect throughout!
It will probably be many years before you see this album in this condition again so don`t miss out!
Please see scans of cover and labels below
TERMS AND CONDITIONS – PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
The grading system I use is from Record Collector: - Mint, Excellent, Very Good with +/- to distinguish borderline grades.
All records are carefully visually inspected under bright light and play graded before auction to avoid any disappointment to buyers, so bid with confidence.
A full no quibble refund for the cost of the record will be offered if you are not satisfied for ANY reason.
I treat all vinyl with the greatest respect whether £5 or £50, so all records are sent out with plastic covers in professional mailers and two protective cardboard stiffeners. I always separate records from their covers and original inner sleeves
for posting to prevent seam splits occurring during shipping.
It is the buyer’s responsibility to take out any insurance cover required. I would advise insurance to be taken out on any item sale greater than £30.00 as protection against loss or damage during shipping. Without this additional insurance the full value of items above £30.00 that are lost or damaged will NOT be able to be recovered.
Following the close of the auction I will send an invoice within twenty four hours. All winning bidders must make contact within three days of the end of the auction or I reserve the right to withdraw the item or select the second chance option and offer the item to another bidder.
Please do not bid if you have significant negative feedback unless checking first please.
