PHANTASMAGORIA
PRETTY DAMNED SCARCE SOUTH AFRICAN VINYL LP 
OUTER SLEEVE I'LL ERR ON THE SIDE OF CAUTION AND CALL VG, THOUGH IT LOOKS A BIT NICER THAN THAT. THERE'S SLIGHT RINGWEAR, MORE NOTICEABLE REAR TOP. SMALL AMOUNT OF PRICE STICKER RESIDUE FRONT TOP RIGHT HAND CORNER. WHEN HELD TO THE LIGHT, SEEMS SOMEONE HAS TRIED TO TRACE THE DAMNED LOGO, AS THERE ARE INDENTATION MARKS AROUND IT, AND A FEW FURTHER INDENTATIONS AS IF SOMEONE MAY HAVE LEANED SOME PAPER ON IT AND PLAYED HANGMAN. LITTLE BIT OF GRUBBINESS HERE AND THERE, INCLUDING HALF A FINGERPRINT, BUT IT'S REALLY NOT TOO BAD AT ALL.
VINYL VG/EX. SOME LIGHT SURFACE MARKS BUT PLAYS FINE. HAD THE MISFORTUNE OF HAVING TO LISTEN TO IT TO CHECK IT PLAYS OK, AND IT'S A TRULY AWFUL ALBUM.
LABELS HAVE A FEW SPOTS OF FOXING CONSISTENT WITH BEING KEPT IN A HUMID ENVIRONMENT, PROBABLY EASY TO CLEAN OFF AND PRETTY UNOBTRUSIVE. WHEN HELD AT AN ANGLE TO A LIGHT THERE ARE SOME SPINDLE MARKS CONSISTENT WITH USE.
THE LABEL ON SIDE B SEEMS TO HAVE A NUMBER "109" STAMPED AND EMBOSSED ON ITS REAR (see picture 8)
PRETTY HARD TO FIND RECORD.

GRADING
Approximate grades are given according to Record Collector Magazine's Grading Guide as described below: Their grading system seems inadequate since there is a huge gulf between their descriptions for EX & VG - many records graded VG would be another's EX.. Generally speaking, the records have been visually graded (in cases where there's a mark I've played the record to make sure it doesn't affect play. I've erred on the side of caution and undergraded, so you should be pleasantly surprised. However, grading is subjective, so if you're not entirely happy with your record I'm happy to accept returns (within a reasonable time frame) and will refund in full including shipping both ways. Please contact me before any returns - hopefully there won't be any!
Record Collector Magazine's Grading Guide:
"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 the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
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.
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.
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.
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.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler."
Note that slight fingerprints easily removed smudgemarks, unless excessive, are not counted as defects as they are often an inevitable result of use and are easily cleaned. <div style="text-align:center"><a style="text-decoration:none" href="http://mostpopular.sellathon.com/?id=AC1255960"><img src="http://www.sellathon.com/Resources/Images/countercredit.gif" border="0"></a></div>
