The record is in EX-/VG+ condition. It looks clean, bright and shiny, and plays extremely well. The almost unmarked labels suggest the record has been played very a very small number of times. It does have a couple of minor defects, but enough to downgrade it to the level shown. There is a very small scratch during The Parting Glass on side 1, causing about 6 clicks during a soft acoustic track. Also, side 1 has some surface marks that can only be seen when the record is tilted in the light. They do not affect play at all.

As for the sleeve, it is very clean and there are no tears, scuffing, splitting or writing. Unfortunately, however, it has been exposed to damp or wet conditions. This has caused it to crinkle quite badly, as I have tried to show fully in the photographs. There is also creasing at the bottom left corner, as if it has been dropped on the floor. Overall, I would grade it VG at best. It is a real shame that it was not kept in more suitable conditions.

The white polylined inner sleeve is quite discoloured, but can easily be replaced if required..

As with all the records I am selling, a full refund is offered if the winning bidder is not happy with the item.

Postage discount given when more than one item is purchased.
