Description
I'll be listing some great stuff over the next couple of weeks so keep an eye out. I'm mad about music so everything listed has been played all the way through (at least once!). I do try and describe every record in as much detail as relevantly possible and will not ignore/overlook flaws in order to hike up the price! My top grade is Excellent ++++ and this is for a basically almost perfect record (rest assured anything I grade at Excellent or above would probably be graded as MINT by a lot of other sellers)...records in this sort of condition do not come along that often, so I'm surprised to see so many graded as Mint or Near Mint (!!!????) which are mainly completely misleading. Even with new vinyl, as soon as you drag the vinyl out of it's sleeve those annoying hairline scratches appear and sometimes worse and even the packaging has wear/flaws. Anyway, I do pride myself in being as honest as possible and think if I was buying this record what would I want to know.

Condition
Sleeve
The classic fragile notoriously completely trashed laminated gatefold sleeve has a few laminate creases on the front face (most are concentrated towards the top right corner) and there is also a small area of laminate bubble towards the middle of the spine edge, the fragile/thin front gatefold flap has only light thumbing on the edges and slight wear to the outer corners. The rear face has a few laminate creases and light ringwear and some patches of laminate bubbling towards the spine edge, there is however no edge wear. The spine is still square and perfectly readable with no wear except slight wear at the top corner and heavier wear towards the bottom corner which has resulted in the spine splitting about 1 cm from the bottom. The inside of the gatefold is in excellent condition with no flaws to mention of. There are no tears, no writing, no stickers, no stains and no wear to the opening edge (inside the gatefold). Sorry for the overlong description but I really don't think you can just get away with describing this sleeve with a VG or EX as there is always so much to describe....anyway, it really is a very presentable sleeve and overall I grade the sleeve as a GENUINE Very Good+ (if not better)(graded properly)
Vinyl
The record plays all the way through without skips,jumps,hiss,pops, with little or no background noise and only the very occassional faint click....the mono sound is truly amazing! There are a couple of light surface marks and only hairline marks/paper scuffs when viewed at an angle under a bright light....none of which detract the listening pleasure as the music is superb! Overall I grade the vinyl as Excellent+ (if not better)(graded properly)
Labels
The labels are in Excellent+ condition with a few faint spindle marks.
