THE SLEEVE

THE TWO FRONT LAMINATED PICTURE SLEEVES EACH HAVE THREE REAR FLIP-BACKS AND BOTH ARE IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION. THERE IS SOME VERY SLIGHT WEAR AND THERE IS SOME TANNING TO THE BACKS. THE EDGES AND CORNERS ARE ALL NICE AND STRAIGHT AND THE TEXT ON EACH OF THE TWO ‘FLUTED’ SPINES IS STILL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THE VINYL

VISUALLY ALL FOUR SIDES OF VERY HEAVY GLOSSY BLACK VINYL APPEAR TO BE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION AND UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT I CAN ONLY SEE A FEW TINY HAIRLINE MARKS. I HAVE FULLY PLAYED ALL FOUR SIDES AND I CAN CONFIRM THAT THE SOUND QUALITY IS SUPERB THROUGHOUT.

THE LABELS

THE FOUR RED COLUMBIA LABELS, WITH WHITE SEMI-CIRCULAR LOGOS, ARE BOTH IN NEAR MINT CONDITION WITH JUST A FEW TINY SPINDLE MARKS.

I HAVE DESCRIBED THIS RECORD STRICTLY ACCORDING TO RECORD COLLECTOR MAGAZINE GRADING SYSTEMS SO THERE WILL BE NO NASTY SURPRISES FOR THE WINNING BIDDER. THIS RECORD HAS BEEN CAREFULLY VISUALLY & FULLY PLAY GRADED.

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.
