THE SMITHS  -  ‘The Headmaster Ritual’     12”     Netherlands      1985     Megadisc  MD 125295

Hard to find and collectable Dutch issued 5 track 12”. With 4 live tracks on the Bside.

In original picture sleeve.   

CONDITION:       I strive to provide an accurate and honest appraisal of condition.  It’s in my best interests to do so.  I WANT YOU TO COME BACK!    All records are checked in good light and play tested at a loud volume (unless described as sealed, brand new or stated otherwise).   All used records are cleaned using a Moth vacuum record cleaning machine prior to play testing.    STRICT  U.K. MAGAZINE  'RECORD COLLECTOR'  GRADING SYSTEM USED.

SUPERB PLAYING CONDITION!    Playing condition is NrMINT for the Aside and a fraction less for the Bside.      Whole record plays virtually as new.   Record has clearly had very little play.   Very occasional, very light surface noise in places on Bside – hardly noticeable.         NO loud crackle.    NO repetitive clicks/pops.    NO distortion,   NO jumps,   NO sticking. 

Visually the vinyl is graded at the very least as EX-.  Some light surface-only marks.  Nothing anywhere near feeling to the touch.   Vinyl still retains its original sheen.   

Labels are MINT.   NO obvious spindle marks.    All text perfectly readable.    NO writing.   NO tears.   NO stickers.

Sleeve is in EX+ condition.      Minor edge/corner wear.   Minor creases.     NO seam splits.   NO tears.   NO writing.   NO stickers. 

 PLEASE SEE LARGE PHOTOS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE FOR TRACKLISTING AS WELL AS A GOOD LOOK AT CONDITION.  PHOTOS ARE OF ACTUAL ITEM FOR SALE - NO MISLEADING STOCK PHOTOS USED. 

Record Collector Magazine Grading System  - VINYL

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 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 scratches. Normal wear and tear on the cover and extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable

GOOD (G) The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeable deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.

FAIR (F) 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 deface

POOR (P) The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing

BAD (B) The record is unplayable or might even be broken and is only of use as a collection filler
