CONDITION
SLEEVE: (EX+) GLOSSY UK SLEEVE HAS BEEN CAREFULLY STORED AND AT FIRST GLANCE LOOKS NEAR MINT. ON CLOSE INSPECTION UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT THERE ARE A FEW VERY LIGHT STORAGE MARKS/FADING NEAR THE TOP ON BOTH SIDES BUT THAT'S IT. THIS IS VERY CLOSE TO 'RECORD SHOP' CONDITION. LOOK AT THE PICTURES - VERY HARD TO FIND IN THIS CONDITION.
SPINE: (NEAR MINT) PERFECT WITH ALL THE TEXT PERFECTLY READABLE AND ONLY THE SLIGHTEST RUBBING TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM CORNERS. NO SPLITS.
INNER: (EX) ORIGINAL PICTURE INNER SLEEVE WITH 'PRINTED IN THE UK.' IN BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER HAS BARELY BEEN TOUCHED WITH JUST SOME STAINING/DISCOLOURATION NEAR THE BOTTOM ON THE TRACKLISTING SIDE. SLIGHT BUMP TO BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER. NO SPLITS NO RIPS NO WRITING AND NO STICKERS.
LABELS: (NEAR MINT) BOTH LABELS ARE FREE FROM ANY UNWANTED WRITING & STICKERS. A COUPLE OF TRACE SPINDLE MARKS. NO WRITING NO STICKERS NO DISCOLOURATION
VINYL VISUALLY: SIDE 1 (EX) SIDE 2 (EX+) BOTH SIDES ARE FLAT GLOSSY AND UNDER NORMAL LIGHT LOOK LIKE NEW. THIS RECORD HAS ONLY BEEN PLAYED A FEW TIMES WHEN RELEASED AND HAS BEEN CAREFULLY STORED EVERY SINCE!! WHEN EXAMINED CLOSELY UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT YOU CAN SEE A FEW PAPER SCUFFS/HAIRLINES ON SIDE 1 AND A COUPLE ON SIDE 2 BUT THAT'S IT. DO NOT MISS THIS RARE OPPORTUNITY! SO HARD TO FIND THIS ALBUM IN THIS CONDITION AND EVEN HARDER TO FIND A TRANSLUCENT RED VINYL VERSION!!
PLAYING GRADE: (MINT) BOTH SIDES HAVE BEEN CAREFULLY LISTENED TO ON HEADPHONES ON A COUPLE OF SYSTEMS WITH A SHURE WHITE LABEL CARTRIDGE & STEREO NEEDLE. OVERALL BOTH SIDES PLAYS LIKE NEW! I AM BEING HIGHLY CRITICAL AND MY PLAY GRADE IS ALWAYS BASED ON WHAT I CAN HEAR ON BEYER-DYNAMIC DT-150 HEADPHONES WITH THE TREBLE TURNED UP FULL. INCREDIBLE CONDITION AND CERTAINLY A COPY THAT YOU WOULD NEVER HAVE TO UPGRADE. I DOUBT IF YOU COULD EVER FIND A BETTER COPY!
EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO FIND IN ANY CONDITION!!
DON`T MISS OUT ON THIS!!
GRADING
All records are graded using the Record Collector Grading System with (+) or (-) to show a slightly higher or lower grade.
M (Mint) : 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 lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition.
EX (Excellent): 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.
VG (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. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
G (Good) : 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.
F (Fair) : The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
