Unfortunately due to some time restrictions I'm not able to thoroughly grade my new listings as much as I'd like to. My apologies in advance for this, and also for the poorer quality of the photos.

Rare "Fourth Proof" Cover Variant - Never Intended To Be Sold By EMI
The vinyl has a lot of scuffs / sleeve removal marks and some scratches on both sides, please see the photos for an idea of this. It's clear this LP was enjoyed a lot back in it's day but despite how it looks, it still manages to play through without skipping or jumping anywhere on my equipment. It plays through from beginning to end and while it certainly has crackle, it's still listenable. The surface scratching / marks can cause long passages of rotational ticks, sometimes going over whole songs but luckily nothing too obnoxious otherwise. This LP is quite clearly worn but still manages to bring an alright playback. I'll overall give it a Good grading but please don't expect miracles.
I wouldn't grade the cover any higher than Good either, unfortunately. The spine is extremely worn and is in my opinion, the main demerit with the cover. It also has a small tear on the front panel which is photographed, but luckily the inside of the cover doesn't look too bad. The "Fourth Proof" section on the right side inner flipover is generally clean and decent looking compared to the rest of the cover, but all in all it's not the best presentation.
It's very clear that this album is quite worn down so I am trying to price this fairly in comparison to the other "Fourth Proof" LPs currently up for sales on eBay as it can still be a nice collection filler, or a good starter copy for this rare variant of the album
Unfortunately the original inner sleeve is long gone but it'll come with a generic white paper inner from the era that's holding up well. Original cutouts are present, luckily!
I'm willing to combine postage on multiple purchases. Any questions, please give me a shout! Thank you
