Description

Here I have for sale the British-only LP reissue release of The Carpenters’ debut recording ‘Ticket To Ride' (1970).

Carpenters ?– Ticket To Ride (1970)

Condition (refer also to notes at bottom):
Vinyl – EX. Wonderfully clean on visual inspection. Played just pre-listing and sound clarity is superb throughout. A great listening experience to this early 70s gem!
Outer sleeve (Cover) – EX. Colours are bright, unfaded and clean. Lovely laminated front. Some light corner nicks and some very minor creasing and vein-like creases in from the edges. Aperture shows minimal wear. Reverse has a few light marks but generally clean and intact. Superb!

ITEM CONDITION - items are graded according to Record Collector definitions - see below:

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 the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

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.

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.

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.

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.

POOR: 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: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler.
