CONDITION
SLEEVE: (EX+) FRONT LAMINATED UK SLEEVE DESIGNED BY IMMEDIATE. ONLY VERY SLIGHT DISCOLOURATION TO THE UNLAMINATED BACK. VERY SLIGHT HANDLING WEAR TO THE FRONT NEAR THE OPENING EDGE. THERE IS A TINY ROUGH MARK THAT IS A YELLOW COLOUR NEAR THE BOTTOM EDGE ON THE FRONT. I CANNOT TELL WHETHER IT IS A STAIN OR DAMAGE TO THE LAMINATE BUT I AM RELUCTANT TO TRY AND REMOVE IT. I WILL LEAVE THAT UP TO THE NEW OWNER TO DECIDE. THE EDGES ARE SMOOTH AND THE OPENING EDGE IS STRAIGHT WITH NO FEATHERING. INCREDIBLE CONDITION! NO WRITING. NO RIPS & NO SPLITS.
SPINE: (NEAR MINT) THE SPINE IS FAUTLESS! ABSOLUTELY STUNNING WITH NO SCUFFING AND NO WEAR. NO DAMAGE NO SPLITS. PERFECT!!
INNER: (VG) DIE-CUT WHITE PAPER INNER SLEEVE IS HEAVILY CREASED AND DISCOLOURED FROM AGE. NO SPLITS NO RIPS AND NO WRITING.
LABELS: (NEAR MINT) BOTH LABELS ARE FREE FROM ANY UNWANTED WRITING & STICKERS WITH ONLY A COUPLE OF LIGHT SPINDLE MARKS ON EACH SIDE (SEE PICTURES)
VINYL VISUALLY: (EX) THE VINYL IS UNEVEN AND NOT 100% FLAT. WHEN PLAYING SIDE TWO THE NEEDLE DIPS UP AND DOWN SLIGHTLY WHICH IS ONLY VISUALLY NOTICEABLE WHEN THE VINYL IS EYE LEVEL. THE DOES NOT AFFECT THE PLAYING IN ANY WAY. BOTH SIDES ARE GLOSSY AND HAVE ONLY BEEN PLAYED A FEW TIMES. IF YOU EXAMINE CLOSELY WHEN ANGLED UNDER BRIGHT THERE ARE SOME ISOLATED SPECKLED/SPOT SCUFFING/MARKS AND LIGHT PAPER SCUFFS AND HAIRLINE SCRATCHES ONLY VISIBLE UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT. THE VINYL HAS BEEN STORED SINCE THE LATE 1960's AND LOOKS DUSTY IN PLACES AND WOULD BENEFIT FROM A PROFESSIONAL MACHINE CLEAN. I AM HIGHLY CRITICAL AND CAN GUARANTEE THAT MOST COLLECTORS WOULD HIGHER!
PLAYING GRADE: (EX+) BOTH SIDES HAVE BEEN CAREFULLY LISTENED TO ON HEADPHONES ON A COUPLE OF SYSTEMS WITH A SHURE WHITE LABEL CARTRIDGE & STEREO NEEDLE & THE QUIETER PARTS OF THE MUSIC PLAY EXCELLENT AND THE LOUDER MAJORITY OF THE ALBUM PLAYS NEAR MINT!! INCREDIBLE AUDIO!! ONLY VERY OCCASIONAL LIGHT BACKGROUND CRACKLE NOTICEABLE BETWEEN TRACKS AND IN PLACES DURING THE QUIETER MUSIC WHEN PLAYED WITH THE TREBLE TURNED UP FULL! 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! I EXPECT THAT IF THIS VINYL WERE TO BE PROFESSIONALLY MACHINE CLEANED THEN IT WOULD PLAY EVEN BETTER!! NO SKIPS NO JUMPS NO DISTORTION. A VERY DIFFICULT LP TO FIND IN ANY CONDITION!! DON'T MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY TO OWN THIS RARE CHRIS FARLOWE ALBUM IN SUPERB CONDITION!!
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.
