THERE IS MINOR RUBBING TO THE CORNERS. OTHERWISE THE EDGES AND CORNERS ARE ALL NICE AND STRAIGHT AND THE TEXT ON THE SPINES IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THE VINYL

VISUALLY THE TWO HEAVY (150g) GLOSSY BLACK VINYL RECORDS APPEAR TO BE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION AND UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT I CAN SEE SOME LIGHT MARKS. I HAVE FULLY PLAYED ALL FOUR SIDES AND I MADE THE FOLLOWING NOTES: SAX 2347 SIDE 1 - SOME LIGHT & OCCASIONAL SURFACE NOISE. SIDE 2 - SURFACE NOISE AND A NUMBER OF CLICKS THROUGHOUT THE SIDE. SAX 2348 SIDE 1 - SOME OCCASIONAL SURFACE NOISE AND A CLICK MIDWAY THROUGH EACH OF BANDS 2 & 3. SIDE 2 - SURFACE NOISE AND A REPEATING CLICKS EARLY DURING BAND 1. ONE CLICK AT THE END OF BAND 2 AND ANOTHER 2 CLICKS AT THE BEGINNING OF BAND 3. THESE RECORDS DO NOT JUMP OR STICK AND WILL STILL PROVIDE AN ENJOYABLE LISTEN.

THE LABELS

THE FOUR CLASSIC BLUE & SILVER COLUMBIA LABELS ARE ALL IN NEAR MINT CONDITION WITH ONLY ONE OR TWO TINY SPINDLE MARKS.

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 ADVERTISED 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.
