• FORMAT - vinyl LP
• LABEL - Dedicated Records
• CATALOGUE NUMBER - DEDLP023
• YEAR - 1995
• CONDITION -
  • Sleeve - in EX condition, with just a very small amount of shelfwear/rubbing here and there at a couple of edges and top right corner. There is also a very hard-to-spot small 'dull' patch in top right where a sticker once was.All very minor indeed!
  • Vinyl - this album came from a friend's record shop and I am fairly sure it is unplayed (the lack of spindle traces suggest it has not been played and I have never played it). Viewed under a bright halogen bulb, there are just a few VERY light 'hairline' surface marks on each side (so light that many appear and reappear as you tilt the record) and also a few very small, light play grey 'storage' spots on the very top surface of the vinyl. This is NOT damage, just from storage in the thick card inner over the years. Although it is likely unplayed, I will say in EX condition due to the above.
• OTHER DETAILS - a very rare original 1997 UK LP on the Dedicated label complete with inner sleeve.

GRADING

EXCELLENT (EX): The record shows 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 a number of times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the maybe some occasional light scratches. If there is any surface noise it will be occasional, light and unobtrusive. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD (G): The record has obviously been played a lot and while it still plays through OK, it will have a lot of surface marks and/or light scratches (maybe also the occasional 'feelable' scratch) and most likely there there will be regular and noticeable surface noise. The cover and contents may suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine and/or seam splits, discoloration, etc.
