Detailed Descriptions

The Sleeve: EX- Has yellow discolouration to the front and back of the laminate. The rear of the sleeve is very clean too only very slight wear to the side and some small stain marks so hard to find anything as clean as many were damaged or have dirt marks not this copy its very clean.  Very slight ringwear to the front of the sleeve you have to look hard for it.  There are 2 creases to the front near the opening nothing major only small and do not detract from the sleeve. There is some small spots where some laminate is starting to come off down the spine you can barely notice it. The spine is intact and clearly readable with no dirt marks has some creases but no dirt marks as many others do. Please refer to pictures for reference.

Inner Sleeve: VG+ Has some orange stain spots on both sides but no rips or tears or splits.

The Labels: EX- Just little wear around spindle areas otherwise look in beautiful condition. There are no nasty marks, stickers or any writing to either side.

Record Visually Graded: VG+ Has 2 surface scratches to side 1, 1 one of which turns into a very small feelable scratch on the start of track 4 the other cannot be felt. Has 3 light surface scratches to side 2 which you can't feel and has the usual light surface marks to both sides otherwise would easily grade as EX. Has a lovely just pressed shiny look. In strong light has light surface scuffs as most records do from this period so would grade as VG but that's in strong halogen light overall a superb copy hard to find in this nice condition.

Record Playback: VG+ Has a click for 3 turns on track 4 side 1 but does not stick otherwise it plays beautifully on both sides without any sticking or jumping otherwise would of graded EX+. Plays quiet between tracks and has a strong sound on all tracks it really sounds superb in Mono sound with no deterioration to sound quality. Overall a very enjoyable listen.

I USE THE FOLLOWING GRADING SYSTEM: M=Mint, NM=Near Mint, EX=Excellent, VG=Very Good, G= Good, F=Fair, P=Poor B=Bad

THE RECORD HAS BEEN PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED ON A RECORD CLEANING MACHINE WITH A NON ALCOHOL SOLUTION.
