** Rare opportunity to get a very clean example of this 43 year-old rock classic, with great sound quality **
An Excellent condition disc. Shiny lustrous vinyl. Hardly any marks at all can be seen in normal daylight, but a few very light hairline marks can be seen under a very strong light - mainly from where the LP has been taken out of the sleeve over the years. A few centre spindle marks. Original STEREO mixes of both sides. No skips, jumps, warps, sticking, scratches, scuffs, or writing on labels. Both labels in very clean condition. Excellent sound quality throughout, with very little surface noise. Very listenable. Top audio. You would find it very hard indeed to get a better sounding example. Tested on a Thorens turntable.
Sleeve is the first UK issue version, and in Excellent condition. "7411 Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd" printed to rear lower right hand corner - giving a coded date of November 1974. Very little general wear. No creasing. No seam splits. No writing anywhere. Spine in excellent condition, with all text still clearly legible.
Supplied in original plain white inner sleeve, which is in excellent condition, with no seam splits or writing anywhere.
GRADING:
All records are graded using the 'Record Collector' format:
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 advertised 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, discoloration, etc.
FAIR (F): 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 (P): 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 (B): The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
