Vinyl condition*: EX

Labels: The labels are really nice with crisp print and great colour. Very very slight wear

Playing surface: Both sides have a nice luster and look good. There are some light hairlines and a few light surface marks under light. its so close to NM

Run Off: Some very very light marks, but nice and shiny

Sound*: EX

After listening right through this album, the sound is really good with the occasional crackle in quieter sections, the run in/out and the linking grooves. Overall the album is a really nice sound with good overall clarity and depth of sound, with no skips or jumps. Again so close to NM

Overall its a great sound, with occasional noise and great range and power

Cover, sleeves and insert condition*: EX

Spine: The spine is pretty good. Its very thin and is printed "THE FRESH CREAM”. The text is very small at the first T is faded but the rest is readable. Very light lift at the centre near the text

Seams: The bottom is lovely and tidy, no damage or heavy wear. Top has a couple of nicks where the seam meets the back cover. 

Opening: Straight with very light thumbing. 

Front Cover: There is ring wear outline to the laminate. The top and bottom edges have some small crease veins. There is a 2 inch oval ring wear rub near the opening edges. The printing and laminate is in good shape and overall is pretty good. 

Back Cover: There is a feint grubby ring wear mark. The back is a little grey from age, but overall its quite nice. No real damage just some handling wear 

Sleeve: Some creasing and age colouring on the cream anti static sleeve

Overall a nice sound, a good looking vinyl and nice looking cover. Its a nice collector peice and an absolute classic album to enjoy

* VINYL GRADE DESCRIPTION GUIDE

MINT (M): A perfect record that looks like it has just left the factory, with NO flaws what so ever looking as though it had never been handled. No scuffs or scratches, blotches or stains.

NEAR MINT (NM): The record appears virtually flawless at first glance and has a great luster. It should only have very minor scuffs or marks on the surface of the vinyl, which are only visible under strong light. It should play without any noise particularly over the flaw. 

EXCELLENT (EX): A record with only minor scuffs, which are only slightly visible. There may be more than a few scuffs or marks. It should play without any noise over the flaw.

VERY GOOD (VG): The record shows wear which could include surface scuffs and marks, blotches or stains. The vinyl still has a great luster, but the flaws will be noticeable to the naked eye. The flaws may cause some surface noise. 

A plus (+) or (-) following the condition indicate variations of the condition i.e. VG+ is in slightly better condition than VG but not excellent.

MINT (M): The cover is free of any stickers, address labels, writing or labels. There are no tears or seam splits or wear / fading to the cover. The age of the record has not affected the condition. The cover, sleeve and any inserts (posters, stickers, lyric sheets) look brand new.
