I am not a professional; I have tried to grade this and all my records, according to the Goldmine Record Grading System, (as far as I understand it). However, as mentioned I am not a professional only an enthusiastic collector and seller. I appreciate that when it comes to vinyl or in fact any collectable items, collectors always wish to get the best possible so my grading has been swayed more towards being overly picky rather than understated. It has been my experience that old and new vinyl records do have a certain crackling sound which makes vinyl unique and very appealing.

This record has been played on a Sony PS LX2 deck and played well.

Labels:

A label is very clean and clear (VG+++ / Ex)

B side label is very clean, (slight scuff across the Not For Sale wording but nothing bad or nothing that makes the wording unreadable). VG

Vinyl:

Side A vinyl is in very good+ condition for its age and plays well has very light play marks but is still bright.

Side B plays fine, does have light surface marks and I would say it is G+ - VG grade.

Comes in an appropriate age Parlophone sleeve, (not the original Top Pop sleeve), plus a thick clear plastic cover. Sleeve is in VG+ condition.

The photographs are not brilliant as I am not a good photographer but I have tried to capture as good as I can. The picture of side B shows a couple of blemishes, these are not on the record as they were made when I cleaned the vinyl but now they are clear.

I have researched this record and have seen other examples sell for £770, £820, £990 and £1,500. I have priced this to sell at what I believe to be a fair price for its condition and current collectability level.

Will be sent in a strong protective box and by signed for, tracked postage.
