THE SLEEVE

THE FULLY LAMINATED, GARROD & LOFTHOUSE GATEFOLD SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THERE IS SOME LIGHT RING WEAR AND THERE ARE A FEW TINY WRINKLES IN THE LAMINATION. THERE IS SOME SLIGHT SCUFFING TO THE CORNERS. THE SPINE IS WORN AND COMPRESSED TO THE POINT WHERE THE TEXT ON IT IS NOT REALLY LEGIBLE.

THE INNER SLEEVE

THE ORIGINAL PSYCHEDELIC RED & WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS IN GOOD CONDITION. THERE IS A  SPLIT TO THE SIDE OPPOSITE THE OPENING. THERE IS GENERAL WEAR, SOME CREASING AND ONE CORNER HAS BEEN NEATLY SLICED OFF. THERE IS A SMALL SCRIBBLED OUT INSCRIPTION IN ONE CORNER.

THE INSERT

THE “SGT PEPPER CUT-OUT” INSERT IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH FOUR TINY PIN-PRICK HOLES - ONE IN EACH CORNER. OTHERWISE THERE ARE SIGNS OF CAREFUL HANDLING AND A COUPLE OF TINY WRINKLES IN THE CARD.

THE VINYL

VISUALLY THE UN-BANDED VINYL IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT I CAN SEE SOME LIGHT MARKS. I HAVE JUST FINISHED LISTENING TO THIS ALL-TIME CLASSIC AND CAN REPORT THAT THE SOUND QUALITY IS GENERALLY EXCELLENT ALTHOUGH I DID DETECT SOME OCCASIONAL LIGHT SURFACE NOISE TOWARDS THE END OF EACH SIDE. ALL TRACKS PLAYED FINE.

THE LABELS

THE BLACK & YELLOW PARLOPHONE LABELS WITH “THE GRAMOPHONE ...” AND “SOLD IN THE U.K. ....” TEXT ARE BOTH IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH SOME LIGHT SPINDLE MARKS. THERE IS THE SLIGHTEST HINT OF SOME VERY SLIGHT WEAR TO THE HOLE ON THE SIDE 2 LABEL.

RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING SYSTEM

MINT (M) THE RECORD ITSELF IS IN BRAND NEW CONDITION WITH NO SURFACE MARKS OR DETERIORATION IN SOUND QUALITY. THE COVER AND ANY EXTRA ITEMS SUCH AS THE LYRIC SHEET, BOOKLET OR POSTER ARE IN PERFECT CONDITION. RECORDS ADVERTISED AS SEALED OR UNPLAYED SHOULD BE MINT.

EXCELLENT (EX) THE RECORD SHOWS SOME SIGNS OF HAVING BEEN PLAYED, BUT THERE IS VERY LITTLE LESSENING IN SOUND QUALITY. THE COVER AND PACKAGING MIGHT HAVE SLIGHT WEAR AND/OR CREASING.

VERY GOOD (VG) 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. NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ON THE COVER OR EXTRA ITEMS, WITHOUT ANY MAJOR DEFECTS, IS ACCEPTABLE.

GOOD (G) THE RECORD HAS BEEN PLAYED SO MUCH THAT THE SOUND QUALITY HAS NOTICEABLY DETERIORATED, PERHAPS WITH SOME DISTORTION AND MILD SCRATCHES. THE COVER AND CONTENTS SUFFER FROM FOLDING, SCUFFING OF EDGES, SPINE SPLITS, DISCOLOURATION, ETC.
