Item Details:
This is an original pressing of Freddie Mercurys first solo LP titled 'Mr Bad Guy' released on the CBS label in 1985. I have included a 7" pressing of Freddie's hit 'Living On My Own' from the above LP which was released on the Parlophone Label in 1993. The LP has A1 B1 matrix etched in the deadwax
Grading:
LP Vinyl - VG+ The vinyl is loud and clear with no skips or ticks. Has the odd hairline. Plays through great with very little noise, if any. What a voice!
LP Sleeve - VG+ to NM Sleeve is in excellent shape, clean all round with tight seams and no splits or writing. The original lyric inner sleeve is also in excellent condition with very little wear. Freddie's portrait looks great!
7" Vinyl - VG to VG+ Has many hairlines but plays through loud and clear with little surface noise.
7" Sleeve - VG+ Sleeve has fully intact seams. Some creasing and minor ringwear.
Shipping: UK - £4 Europe - £9 USA - £12
Grading Scale:

• Near Mint [NM or M-]: A nearly perfect record. Many dealers won't give a grade higher than this implying (perhaps correctly) that no record is ever truly perfect. The record shows no obvious sign of wear. A 45 rpm sleeve has no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling.
• An LP jacket has no creases, folds, seam splits or any other noticeable similar defect. No cut-out holes, either. And of course, the same is true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, and the like. Basically, Near Mint looks as if you just got it home from a new record store and removed the shrink wrap.

• Very Good Plus [VG+]: Shows some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show some slight signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK.
• The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but is should be barely noticeable. The center hole is not misshapen by repeated play. Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turn-up corners, or a slight seam-split. An LP jacket my have slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a discount. In general, if not for a couple of minor things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint. All but the most mint-crazy collectors will find a Very Good Plus record highly acceptable.

• Very Good [VG]: Many of the defects found in a VG+ record are more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise is evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during the song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as will light scratches deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound.
• Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them.
