SHADES OF DEEP PURPLE N.MINT UK Press PARLOPHONE Black/Silver

This record has been vacuum machine cleaned and test played in full on quality hi-fi. My grading is based on the UK record collector grading system.  I will gladly combine postage on multiple items so check out my other records. Thanks

Details:- From my own personal collection - Stereo UK pressing of Shades of Deep Purple by Deep Purple on the Parlophone black/silver label. The sleeve is front laminated with flip-over, printed by Garrord & Lofthouse and the inner sleeve is the original issue with EMI advertising. Parlophone catalogue no. PCS 7055

Vinyl Condition:- NEAR MINT. Great condition, great sound quality, well looked after and only played very lightly. The vinyl shines like new. This record has been fully test played before this auction 

Sleeve Condition:- EX+ No serious wear all faults. The only thing to note is some tiny amount of feathering in the vinyl on the front near the spine and very minor ringwear that has just left mild dulling around where the record rim comes in contact inside the sleeve. The rest of the laminate is very shiny, the spine is crisp and fully readable and back is clean and unmarked. The EMI advertising sleeve is in very good condition with just some mild browning with age

Label Condition:- EX Nice clean labels with just a few light spindle marks and mild wear around spindle hole

This record seldom comes up for sale in such well looked after condition as this one. Dont miss your chance

If a record has been played, even if the condition of the record and sleeve is perfect.

Record Collectors Grading system

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

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 scratched, 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

CD’s and CASSETTES

As a general rule CD’s and Cassettes either play perfectly – in which case they are in Mint condition – or they don’t, in which case their value is minimal. Cassette tape is liable to deteriorate with age, even if it remains unplayed, so care should be taken when buying old tapes. CD’s are difficult to grade visually; they can look perfect but actually be faulty, while in other cases they may appear damaged but still play perfectly. Cassette and CD inlays and booklets should be graded in the same way as record covers and sleeves. In general, the plastic containers for cassettes and CDs can easily be replaces if they are broken or scratched, but card covers and digipaks are subject to the same wear as record sleeves.
