WATERLOO LILY - CARAVAN (UK DERAM BROWN AND WHITE FIRST ISSUE LABEL)

AS FAR AS I'M AWARE THIS WAS ONE OF THE LAST RECORDS TO COME OUT ON THE BROWN AND WHITE DERAM LABEL BEFORE ALL NEW RELEASES CAME OUT ON THE RED AND WHITE LABEL.

RECORD HAS SOME SURFACE MARKS, SOME OF WHICH LOOK MUCH WORSE THAN THE AUDIO QUALITY OF THE RECORD. THE PLAYBACK HAS THE ODD LIGHT POP NOW AND AGAIN AND SOME LIGHT BACKGROUND IN THE QUIETER PARTS. I THINK THE GREAT PLAYBACK IS LARGELY DUE TO THE HEAVYWEIGHT PRESSING QUALITY. THIS MEANS THAT THE SURFACE MARKS ACTUALLY DON'T MAKE MUCH DIFFERENCE OVERALL. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO GRADE AS VERY GOOD PLUS. THE LABELS ARE PRETTY CLEAN AND THERE IS NO SIGN OF WARPING. 

THE SLEEVE IS GENERALLY A GREAT EXAMPLE. IT HAS SOME SLIGHT DISCOLOURATION IN PLACES ON THE GATEFOLD DUE TO AGE. SOMEONE HAS WRITTEN THEIR NAME IN BIRO AT TOP RIGHT-HAND CORNER OF THE GATEFOLD (PLEASE SEE PHOTOS). THE SPINE HAS A LITTLE WEARING (AGAIN, PLEASE REFER TO PHOTOS). OVERALL I WOULD GRADE IT AS EXCELLENT.

INNER SLEEVE IS THE ORIGINAL DECCA STEREO ONE AND IS DATED 4/72. CONDITION IS CONSISTENT WITH THE REST OF THE RECORD.

RECORD COLLECTOR'S GRADING SYSTEM

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. Records marked as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

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 (G)

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

Fair (F)

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.

Poor (P)

The record will not play properly due to scratched, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing

Bad (B)

The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler
