CONDITION
SLEEVE: (G+) TEXTURED ORNATE FOLD-OUT GATEFOLD SLEEVE IS VERY PRESENTABLE BUT TATTY ROUND THE EDGES WITH SCUFFING AND WEAR TO THE CORNERS. FADING IN PLACES AND SOME CREASING / CURLING TO THE CORNERS ON THE INSIDE (SEE PICTURES). NO WRITING NO STICKERS NO RIPS & NO SPLITS.
SPINE: (G) WORN EDGES WITH HEAVY RUBBING TO CORNERS. ALL THE TEXT IS CLEARLY READABLE. NO SPLITS.
INNER: (VG-) & (VG+) BLACK & WHITE CBS PAPER INNERS ADVERTISING OTHER RECORDS ON CBS. DISCOLOURATION AND CREASING FROM AGE AND STORAGE. ONE HAS A 2.5" SIDE SPLIT BUT THAT'S IT. NO WRITING.
LABELS: SIDE 1 (NM) SIDE 2 (EX-) SIDE 3 (EX+) SIDE 4 (EX) EACH LABEL IS SUPERB WITH ONLY A FEW LIGHT SPINDLE MARKS AROUND THE CENTRE HOLE. THE LABELS ARE VERY CLEAN WITH NO SCUFFING NO WRITING NO STICKERS. STUNNING LABELS!
VINYL VISUALLY: SIDE 1 (EX) SIDE 2 (EX-) SIDE 3 (EX) SIDE 4 (EX) BOTH RECORDS ARE FLAT & GLOSSY AND WHEN VIEWED UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT BOTH SIDES HAVE ONLY A VERY FEW LIGHT PAPER SCUFFS AND HAIRLINES ONLY VISIBLE UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT. SIDE 2 HAS A HAIRLINE THAT CAN BE SEEN IN NORMAL LIGHT BUT THAT'S IT. RARELY PLAYED AND WELL LOOKED AFTER WITH THE PAPER SCUFFS COMING FROM SLEEVE REMOVAL AND HANDLING. VERY STRICT GRADING MOST WOULD EASILY GRADE HIGHER! PLEASE LISTEN TO THE WHOLE ALBUM BY CHECKING THE LINK BELOW THE PLAYING GRADE.
PLAYING GRADE: (NEAR MINT) BOTH SIDES HAVE BEEN CAREFULLY LISTENED TO ON BEYER-DYNAMIC DT-150 HEADPHONES ON A COUPLE OF SYSTEMS WITH A SHURE WHITE LABEL CARTRIDGE & STEREO NEEDLE AND OVERALL BOTH SIDES PLAY LIKE NEW!! JUST VERY ISOLATED LIGHT BACKGROUND STATIC/CRACKLE (NOTICEABLE IN PLACES DURING THE FIRST TRACK ON SIDE 3). THIS VINYL HAS BEEN STORED UNTOUCHED FOR 40 YEARS SO MAY BENEFIT FROM A PROFESSIONAL MACHINE CLEAN. I AM BEING HIGHLY CRITICAL AND MY PLAY GRADE IS ALWAYS BASED ON WHAT I CAN HEAR ON BEYER-DYNAMIC DT-150 HEADPHONES WITH THE TREBLE TURNED UP FULL! EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO FIND IN ANY CONDITION ESPECIALLY AS A GENUINE UK 1ST PRESSING ON THE CBS LABEL! THE PRODUCTION ON THIS ALBUM IS SIMPLY AWESOME AND IS FAR SUPERIOR TO ANY DIGITAL REMASTER OR VINYL REPRESSING. A PRESENTABLE AND INCREDIBLE SOUNDING COPY OF AN INCREDIBLY RARE HEAVEN UK 1ST PRESSING NOT TO BE MISSED! JUDGE FOR YOURSELF AND LISTEN TO THE WHOLE ALBUM - CHECK THE LINK BELOW!!

THE AUDIO FILE HAS NOT BEEN BOOSTED, EDITED OR PROCESSED IN ANY WAY - I HAVE LITERALLY PUT THE NEEDLE ON THE RECORD AND RECORDED BOTH SIDES INCLUDING RUN-INS AND RUN-OUTS. IT WAS RECORDED ON CUBASE 6.5 AT 16BIT 44.1kHZ THEN EXPORTED AS MP3 FILE AT 320KBPS. WHAT YOU CAN HEAR IS WHAT THE VINYL SOUNDS LIKE!!
GRADING
All records are graded using the Record Collector Grading System with (+) or (-) to show a slightly higher or lower grade.
M (Mint) : 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 lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition.
EX (Excellent): 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.
VG (Very Good) : 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.
G (Good) : 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.
F (Fair) : 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.
POSTAGE & PACKAGING
I always charge less postage than what it actually costs me. If the actual cost of postage is less then I will refund the difference. All records are posted fully insured. In the UK they are sent via Royal Mail 1st Class Recorded delivery (Special Delivery at no extra charge if the record is £50 or over). Overseas all records are posted via Royal Mail International Tracked & Signed, tracked or signed depending on what options are available. All vinyl is posted using correct card record mailers/cruciform boxes with at least 4 cardboard stiffners. The sleeve is always sent in a new poly outer and the vinyl is put in a new polylined paper inner outside of the sleeve to avoid splits/damage during transit. 7" vinyls sleeves are sent in a new PVC outer and the vinyl is put in a new card inner outside of sleeve. I will always do everything I can to guarantee that your record arrives in the same condition it leaves me.
