AC/DC ?– For Those About To Rock (We Salute You)

Original 1981 Australian 1st issue. Albert Productions Red labels, with Yellow strobe.
The vinyl is visually EX   deep black reflective gloss with a small amount of faint lines, only when viewed under direct light. They have minimal to no effect on the audio -
The audio is NM   - Superb Audio / dynamics - quiet background and deadwax - (both sides) -
The insert is EX  - a couple of light creases, but very clean
The labels are NM - no spindle trails or wear - superb labels.
The gatefold sleeve is VG - light wear to the front of the sleeve, degraded to VG mostly because of the ring-wear to the back) , but only minimal edge wear, and a very nice spine and mouth (see the pics)

The faint lines are mostly faint, short and straight sleeve removal lines, but there is 1 or 2 that might be very faint needle traces, but they are of similar definition and effect.
The audio is nearly mint.... perhaps 3 or 4 microscopic - singular - non sequential micro pips in the deadwax and quiet areas.
Over 99% of the revolutions of each side play with no interference. The 3 or 4 imperfections are tiny, and are in areas of little to no consequence.

A few words about condition.

Grade & 
score out of 100
                                           GRADING
Mint is a Rigid Band - The next Four Grades are all Narrow Bands, that slightly widen as the condition gradually deteriorates - Good is still Good, but there is a rapid widening of the Grade Bands, as the condition deteriorates over the last Four grades.

MINT
100

This is an above average used record, that has been well looked after.




GOOD
56 to 68
The record has been played so much that the sound quality has deteriorated, but the record will still play through, and it will not be a completely unpleasant listening experience, even at the bottom of this grade (56).
The cover and contents may suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc. 




FAIR
41 to 55
The record is still playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even stick, skip or jump.. This is starting to be an unpleasant listening experience at the top of the grade (55) and will not be a pleasant listening experience at all by the end of it (41).
The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced. 
 
POOR
25 to 40
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
0 - 24
The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
The Sleeve is non existent (0) or what is left, is only just recognisable.
