Cover: Garrod & Lofthouse 1st pressing laminated non-gatefold cover with the misaligned apple on the rear cover. Excellent condition with no writings, doodles or seam splits. Just minor edge/corner wear and some light laminate creasing. Nice clear readable spine. Comes with a plain black inner sleeve without the die-cut which is in Excellent condition. See photos. The cover alone is worth the starting price for this auction.
Labels: VG. Name on one side and initials on the other. No "Her Majesty" after "The End".
Vinyl: Play tested. Thick heavy duty 1st pressing vinyl. Looks VG and plays VG(-). No skips on my system. Some crackle throughout which is most noticeable on the run-in, between tracks and during quiet moments. Still a good listening experience. Might benefit from a clean - not played for many years before play testing.
Postage & packaging: £3.50 (UK) £6 (EUROPE - excluding Russia) & £10 (Russia & REST OF THE WORLD)
Gradings.......
Mint - The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality.
Excellent - The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is little lessening in sound quality.
Very Good - The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch.
Good - The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches.
Fair - The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise, it may even jump.
Poor - The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc
Bad - The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler.
