AREA OF MANUFACTURE : UK
FORMAT: VINYL LP
CONDITION OF RECORD (VISUAL GRADE). : SCRATCHES AND SCUFFS THROUGHOUT. (INCLUDING A FEW LIGHLY FEELABLE ONES ON USSR/LONG,LONG,LONG, GOODNIGHT AND NO 9) I HAVE TRIED TO PHOTOGRAPH THEM BUT CAMERA WILL NOT PICK THEM UP.. NO DEEP GOUGES. ROUGH CONDITION. GRADES 'FAIR'.
SLEEVE : **NO. 0088073** (LAST DIGIT IS HARD TO SEE. COULD BE AN 8). AGAIN,AS THE VINYL,THIS IS IN QUITE ROUGH CONDITION (NOT RUINED) ON THE PLUS SIDE THERE IS NO WRITING PRESENT. THUMBNAIL CREASING PRESENT ON FRONT AND REAR,ALONG WITH VERY LIGHT RINGWEAR. WATERMARK TYPE STAIN ON REAR AT TOP.THE WORST PART OF THE SLEEVE IS THE SPINE: 2CM SPLIT AT BOTTOM AND HEAVY WEAR TO SPINE.(ALL TEXT HAS BEEN WORN AWAY). APPEARANCE OF SLEEVE COULD BE IMPROVED BY APPLYING A VERY NARROW STRIP OF WHITE TAPE TO THE SPINE (JUST A SUGGESTION..) WHEN OPENED,THE ONLY WEAR PRESENT TO THE CENTRAL SPINE IS THE AFOREMENTIONED 2CM SPLIT IN CENTRE. (I HAVE SEEN WHITE ALBUMS IN TWO PIECES BEFORE!!). INSIDE OF GATEFOLD IS IN BETTER CONDITION. 4 PICTURES AND 30 SONG TITLES ARE UNMARKED. (I HAVE SEEN THE SONG TITLES AND PICTURES WITH ANNOTATIONS AND GRAFITTI BEFORE!) MINIMAL EDGEWEAR TO BOTTOM OF SLEEVE. 'G+'
LABELS: MULTIPLE SPINDLE MARKS PRESENT ON ALL FOUR LABELS. NO WRITING PRESENT. GRADES 'VG'
PLAYGRADE: I HAVE PLAYED ALL 4 SIDES OF THIS RECORD IN THEIR ENTIRETY. TRACK ON SIDE 1 SKIPS 2 OR 3 TIMES. OTHER 29 TRACKS DO NOT STICK OR SKIP. SURFACE NOISE/CRACKLE THROUGHOUT.I ONLY HEARD ONE POP ON THE 30 TRACKS!. SOME SONGS LIKE HONEY PIE AND BUNGALOW BILL PLAY FINE (ISH). OBVIOUSLY,THE QUIETER TRACKS LIKE 'I WILL' WILL PLAY POORER THAN THE HEAVIER TRACKS LIKE 'BIRTHDAY'ETC GRADES 'FAIR'
STEREO CARTRIDGE USED FOR PLAYGRADE. USING A MONO CARTRIDGE MAY PROVIDE BETTER SOUND REPRODUCTION. (DOUBTFUL) AN ULTRASONIC CLEAN MAY ALSO PROVIDE BETTER AUDIO(DOUBTFUL)
