THE SLEEVE
THE FRONT LAMINATED SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THERE IS SOME SLIGHT WEAR AND THERE ARE A FEW SMALL WRINKLES TO THE LAMINATED FRONT, INCLUDING A SMALL CREASE TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT-HAND AREA. THERE IS SOME MINOR DISCOLOURATION TO THE BACK OF THE SLEEVE AND THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAS INSCRIBED 3 TINY STARS ON THE BACK NEAR THE TOP EDGE. THE EDGES AND CORNERS ARE ALL NICE AND STRAIGHT. 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 VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH SOME WEAR AND TEAR.
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. 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” BAND AND “MADE IN ENGLAND BY THE DECCA RECORD CO. LTD” TEXT AROUND THE RIMS, ARE BOTH IN NEAR MINT CONDITION WITH JUST ONE OR TWO TINY SPINDLE MARKS PER 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.
