THE SLEEVE

THE FRONT LAMINATED SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION. THERE IS SOME VERY SLIGHT WEAR AND THERE IS SOME MINOR TANNING TO THE BACK OF THE SLEEVE. THE EDGES AND CORNERS ARE ALL NICE AND STRAIGHT. AND ALL OF THE TEXT ON THE ‘FLUTED’ SPINE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THE INNER SLEEVE

THE POLY-LINED BLUE & WHITE ‘FULL FREQUENCY STEREOPHONIC SOUND’ INNER SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH SOME LIGHT WEAR AND ONE SMALL TEAR AT THE DIE-CUT CENTRE.

THE VINYL

VISUALLY THE HEAVY GLOSSY BLACK VINYL APPEARS TO BE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION AND UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT I CAN ONLY SEE A FEW TINY HAIRLINE MARKS & FEATHERY SCUFFS. I HAVE FULLY PLAYED THE RECORD AND CAN CONFIRM THAT THE SOUND QUALITY IS SUPERB THROUGHOUT.

THE LABELS

THE BLACK & SILVER GROOVED DECCA LABELS, WITH WIDE SILVER ”FULL FREQUENCY STEREOPHONIC SOUND” BANDS AND “MADE IN ENGLAND BY THE DECCA RECORD CO. LTD, LONDON” TEXT AROUND THE RIMS, ARE BOTH IN NEAR MINT CONDITION WITH JUST ONE TINY SPINDLE MARK ON THE SIDE TWO LABEL.

ALL RECORDS ARE REMOVED FROM ANY PICTURE SLEEVE TO PREVENT KNIFING. I DO NOT USE “ENVELOPE STYLE” MAILERS. INSTEAD I USE SPECIAL MAILERS DESIGNED TO PROTECT YOUR RECORDS AND ENSURE SAFE ARRIVAL.

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.
