Recording” text on two lines and small “33 1/3” text moved to the left side. Publishing year printed with small copyright symbol (p). The outer also does not have Her Majesty credit
Sleeve - Very Good (+) Its in great condition for its age, some slight storage wear but nothing significant at all (see photos) Misaligned apple and no "Her Majesty". Spine pretty clean. Original white inner with correct patent code.
Vinyl - Excellent This is a really nice copy. Labels are great condition Its really nice to listen to.
I have visually checked and also played the vinyl through to check, hence my comments. (See photos). No overseas bids or post thanks.
I aim to be as honest as I can with descriptions of the items. Any questions feel free to contact me. Any problems after purchase please get in touch allowing me to resolve anything before leaving feedback. If you want more photo’s let me know. Vinyl and sleeve is graded as per the grading system below;
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.
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 (Gd) - 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
