Hawkwind Space Ritual Vinyl Double LP UAD60037 Excellent Condition Used. 
Excellent condition. - Bought new in 1981 (it's NOT the 1st pressing with double gatefold sleeve) and played only 2 or maximum 3 times (see 'my vinyl' description at the bottom of the page) . 
The vinyl is not perfect (see assessment below), but the sleeve is as good as you are likely to see elsewhere for an album of this age.
Sad to see this go, but I don't play these vinyl albums (I play CDs now) and somebody else can enjoy the ownership.
See my other vinyl feedback and albums for sale.
Front sleeve: Tiny indentation where the vinyl is and minor scuffing on the corners and edges. Minor creasing
Back sleeve Tiny indentation where the vinyl is and minor scuffing on the corners and edges. Minor creasing
gatefold Almost perfect - some creasing where the LP has been opened along the inner spine
Spine Minor scuffing on the outer edge
inner sleeve 1 Almost as new - tiny 4mm rip on both sides one upper opening bevel
inner sleeve 2 Almost as new - tiny 4mm rip on one side upper opening bevel
Both inner sleeves are stamped '12/80' (month and date of manufacture)
Vinyl: Visual Side 1 & 2 -  looks as it did when left the factory - no marks. Slight untidy manufacturing imperfection flash on spindle hole of side 1 (due to it hardly being played!). Can be easily pulled off.
side 3 & 4 - looks as it did when left the factory - no marks. Slight untidy manufacturing imperfection flash on spindle hole of side 3 (due to it hardly being played).
Audio There's virtually no surface noise and except those listed below, I'd say the vinyl is as good as you are likely to get for a 40 year old album. Sounds as good as the CD which I have also.
Imperfections: Some of these might be removable with a good deep clean...
One light click 1m 56sec seconds into 'Electronic No 1'. Two light clicks 35 & 37sec into 'Sonic Attack' One very light click 3.6 sec before Dave Brock's first guitar chord of 'Master of the Universe' One slightly intrusive 10ms duration lower pitched 'thuck' 5m33 into 'Master of the Universe'
Sent Royal Mail second class signed for (Costs me £6.15 including cardboard sleeve, stiffener, ebay and paypal charges) Multiple items bought will be sent at break-even postage/fees cost
My vinyl details: All my LPs have been stored in a LP box. None have been left in the open un-sleeved or handled by the playing surface. LPs were always  too expensive to abuse and replace.
Anything bought prior to 1980 was played on a turntable regularly
Anything bought new after 1980 has been played typically 2 or 3 times only to keep the LP in as mint a condition as possible: Once to record to chrome tape to play in the 1980's - early 2000's Once to record to CD in the early 2000's Once to test the quality to sell on ebay now
Anything bought second hand will have unknown previous history.
I will list any defects with the vinyl, sleeve or inner sleeve. I don't want to disappoint buyers with records that are not as expected. Hopefully you know what you are buying, even if not perfect as it left the factory (many weren't even then)
Old vinyl sometimes has a spec of dust in the grooves causing a short 'tick' when listened to I will list these where ever I can detect them. A thorough cleaning can remove some or all of these. Any repeating clicks caused by surface scratches will be listed.  Most vinyl has some surface noise especially those that are nearing 40 years old Most sleeves have some minor creasing or surface scuffing even if in 'near perfect' condition.
