THE SLEEVE

THE FRONT LAMINATED SLEEVE, WITH THREE REAR FLIP-BACKS, IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE LAMINATED FRONT OF THE SLEEVE LOOKS FANTASTIC AND THERE ARE JUST A FEW VERY TINY MARKS. THE BACK HAS  SOME LIGHT STAINING IN THE BOTTOM LEFT-HAND CORNER AREA. THERE IS SOME VERY MINOR RUBBING TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT-HAND CORNER.  OTHERWISE THE EDGES AND CORNERS ARE ALL NICE STRAIGHT AND THE TEXT ON THE SPINE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THE INNER SLEEVE

THE RECORD IS STILL HOUSED IN IT’S ORIGINAL POLY-LINED ‘MUSICAL CENTRE OF THE WORLD’ INNER SLEEVE WHICH IS IN VERY GOOD+ CONDITION WITH CREASING & TANNING.

THE VINYL

VISUALLY THE HEAVY GLOSSY BLACK VINYL APPEARS TO BE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT I CAN SEE SOME LIGHT MARKS AND SCUFFS. I HAVE LISTENED CAREFULLY TO BOTH SIDES AND I MADE THE FOLLOWING OBSERVATIONS:- THERE IS SOME REPEATED TICKING AND CLICKING EARLY DURING SIDE ONE. APPROXIMATELY TWO THIRDS INTO SIDE ONE I HEARD TWO CLICKS. OTHERWISE THE SOUND QUALITY DURING SIDE ONE WAS SUPERB WITH SOME LIGHT AND OCCASIONAL SURFACE NOISE. THE SOUND QUALITY DURING THE WHOLE OF SIDE TWO IS SUPERB WITH JUST THE VERY SLIGHTEST OCCASIONAL SURFACE NOISE.

THE LABELS

THE STUNNING GOLD & CREAM LABELS ARE BOTH IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION WITH SOME SLIGHT SPINDLE MARKS.

ALL RECORDS ARE REMOVED FROM ANY PICTURE SLEEVE TO PREVENT KNIFING. I DO NOT USE “ENVELOPE STYLE” MAILERS. INSTEAD I USE SPECIAL MAILERS DESIGNED TO PROTECT YOUR RECORDS AND ENSURE SAFE ARRIVAL.

I HAVE DESCRIBED THIS RECORD STRICTLY ACCORDING TO RECORD COLLECTOR MAGAZINE GRADING SYSTEMS SO THERE WILL BE NO NASTY SURPRISES FOR THE WINNING BIDDER. THIS RECORD HAS BEEN CAREFULLY VISUALLY & FULLY PLAY-GRADED.
