Tindersticks: Simple Pleasure original UK vinyl LP (1999)

cat # SVLP 112, limited edition 180g, Simply Vinyl/ Island Records- Out of Print

matrix Side A: SVLP 112 A-1-1- / matrix Side B: SVLP 112 B-1-1-

Vinyl grades as "Near Mint" (please see grading system below) - looks to be in nearly flawless condition:

it is a clean copy, with only extremely superficial signs of handling e.g. the odd light sleeve removal scuff.

The next best thing to a new condition copy. LP is from my personal collection. It has been stored carefully 

and played two or three times at most since purchase. 

The cover grades as "Good" or better (please see grading system below) - mainly because of small corner dents

 and a corner crease to bottom left (these flaws were there already when I purchased the record). I have tried to show all existing flaws in the close-up photos. The cover is otherwise still very well preserved and the overall impression is still very favourable as it has no seam splits, tears, ringwear etc. Cover grades as 6.5 out of 10 or better, depending on your criteria.  Please see photographs below.

Insert: some light wear, still fine.

A note on the grading:

Grading is conservative. Records are checked under bright light and play graded prior to listing. I don't use "EX" or "VG++" or "EX-".

Vinyl:

“Sealed” à still in shrink.

“Near Mint” à record appears to be in flawless condition without any defects. 

A near perfect, possibly unplayed record.

“VG+” à light scuffs, scratches or marks; a lightly played record with minimal and/ or occasional surface noise only.

A better-than-average used record. Play is fairly quiet.

“VG” à record played a number of times; plays with some intermittent surface noise in the form of low level or background crackle, 'clicks', 'pops' etc. However, although surface noise is present and is part of the listening experience, it should not overwhelm the music or be too intrusive.

An average used record. Some moderate surface noise.

"VG-" à record occasionally or frequently plays with surface noise which is distracting or intrusive or 'competing' with the music. It should still however play through without 'skips' or 'jumps' and should still be listenable.

A below-average used record. Not trashed - playable, but somewhat noisy in parts or throughout.

“G” à record will either have ‘skips’ or jumps, sound terribly noisy incl. possible distortion in the vocals and/ or be unplayable.

An abused record, with flaws as described above. Only value is in its rarity or as a ‘placeholder’ copy.

With many records play is variable. This will be reflected in the grading as, for example:

VG-/VG or VG/VG+ or VG-/VG/VG+

Cover:

Like new – pristine – 9 or 10 out of 10

Very Good – minor defects only, such as a tiny mark or crease, or a hint of corner wear – will otherwise be almost flawless –7 or 8 out of 10

Good – light wear is evident, but cover still intact, with (for example) legible spine, some shine to laminate, no serious ring wear etc., well preserved  –5 or 6 out of 10

Acceptable/ Fair – far more noticeable wear, incl. ring wear, corner wear, seam splits etc. although cover is still intact, functional –4 out of 10

Poor – shocking condition incl. pronounced ring wear, seam splits, writing, dirt etc. 

–3 out of 10 or less
