CONDITION (see additional notes below)

COVER - VG    BLACK INNERS - G-    POSTER - EX-    PRINTS - M-       

VINYL - VISUAL - Record One - VG-,   Record Two - VG   VINYL - PLAYING - Both Records - EX-

FURTHER INFO - (Cover is fully intact apart from seam split bottom edge and displays light ringwear, marking and discolouration with age - Black inners are scuffed and frayed on open edge and have seam splits - Poster is near EX with just some light marking, creasing and 2 tiny holes in centres of folds but no tears - The 4 Band prints are virtually new with just slightest of wear - Vinyl itself displays some  noticeable surface marks, especially side one where there is a mark right across the playing surface - despite this the marks are all superficial and surface only, NOT scratches - and for this reason the Vinyl overall plays near excellent throughout with just the odd minor 'click')

Additional Notes - All items graded using the universal RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING SYSTEM and  PLAY TESTED. Additional gradings used, like VG+,  EX-,  EX+ etc. which I'm sure most people are familiar with. Basically in addition to the usual R.C. gradings, the following apply -

M- The record visually is virtually perfect except for the very faintest of hairline surface marks. Playing, the record is virtually perfect except for the faintest of audible noise in run-ons or between tracks. The sleeve and/or inner sleeve is virtually perfect except for very minor creases from handling.

EX+ The record visually is near perfect except for a few faint hairline surface marks. Playing, the record is almost perfect except for some very minor audible noise in the run-ons or between tracks. The sleeve and/or inner sleeve is almost perfect except for a few very minor creases/wear.

EX- The record visually is almost excellent but displays rather more noticeable hairline and very light surface marks but no scratches. Playing, the record is almost excellent but displays slightly more noticeable noise in run-ons or between tracks (crackle) plus additionally the odd minor 'pop/click'. The sleeve and/or inner sleeve displays rather more noticeable creases/wear or slight discolouration with age but no seam splits.

VG+ The record visually displays noticeable light surface and hairline marks but only the occasional minor scratch. Playing, the record displays light crackle in the run-ons and occasionally between tracks and slight background noise, occasional 'pops/clicks'. The sleeve and/or inner sleeve displays light-normal wear around edges, spine etc. with minor marks but no tears or major defects.
