Description
TPSA 7504 UK 1974
”Gramophone co “ on label rim text, “made in Gt Britain” on bottom of label, “7204” on sleeve rear
Matrix nos: A1U / B1U
Vinyl looks EX-, nice and shiny with only very light marks, mostly only visible under a bright light. I’ve played it all though at volume and it plays great with strong punchy sound without clicks, jumps or sticking. Side 1 plays without issues, on side 2 there is some noticeable crackle on the intro to “smoke” and some light crackle in between tracks.
The sleeve is EX, clean and with only slight wear / creasing around the edges. Fully legible spine.
White inner, no lyric insert.
Please see photos.
The record has been cleaned on my Pro-Ject VC-S cleaner using fluid that is alcohol free.
If you have any questions please ask.
------------------
Gradings refer to the UK Record Collector Magazine standard (shown below). I would only use "mint" for genuinely unplayed records. Visual grading is done under a spoltlight. Play testing is done on a pro-ject turntable.
If buyer is not satisfied for any reason please contact me, I will refund on safe return of item.
Record will be packaged in a proper mailer with stiffening.
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 marked 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
