Condition Rating/General Comments

The vinyl records are excellent plus overall, with only a couple of small, very light abrasions/surface marks on Sides 1,2 and 4. Side Three does have a few more abrasions however, and is therefore rated excellent. These did not produce audible clicks or cause mis-tracking on our system - moving coil cartridge tracking at light weight recommended.

The labels are very clean, with only light signs of spindle wear around the holes of all sides.

We are grading the sleeves separately, since there is some difference between the two - and they are of different types. Record One (ALP 1548) is very good - with obvious wear along the edges and corners and 'bubbling' and cracking of the upper laminate along the spine and lower edge. The front of the cover has significant deterioration - we're unsure what has caused this, but there are multiple small dots making it looked 'bleached' and faded. Please refer to our cover scan.

The sleeve to Record Two (ALP 1549) is of the thick card type (as opposed to the flimsier laminate type of Record One. This is excellent overall - thought it does have some wear along the edges and corners. There is ring wear visible on the front, and a small section in the rear, lower right corner where the sleeve folder over has come away and been folded back upon itself.

There are a few small areas where the upper laminate has began to peel away along the front, sleeve opening edge.

The inner to ALP 1548 was missing, so a modern replacement will be provided. The EMI/HMV inner to ALP 1549 (die-cut with plastic liner) is excellent - clean and unmarked.
