Condition

Sleeve> Bottom seam has been repaired with sellotape for about a third of the seam. No other problems - front laminated sleeve still very clean with no laminate peel, rear flipback sleeve showing faint aging.

Vinyl> I have played it through so as i can give you an exact description of both sides of the album. It plays very well indeed with a faint crackle occasionally in very quiet places (mostly between tracks). Visually, there are a few marks and scuffs on the vinyl but these do not sound. There is a very slight click during 'Mildew' which can only really be heard for a couple of rotations during the very brief bass solo very close to the end. Side 2 has a more pronounced crackle during the quieter parts and a few more clicks during 'Willow weep for me'. Overall, this album sounds great with any surface noise never seriously impeding your listening pleasure.

(This is used vinyl and may well have occasional crackles - often this is static in the grooves and can be lessened, or completely eradicated, after a good clean).

THIS RECORD HAS NOT BEEN CLEANED AS I KNOW PEOPLE HAVE THEIR OWN PREFERENCES REGARDING CLEANING!  

I use the Record Collector Rare Record Grading System for grading>

"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 the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

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.

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.

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.

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.

POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler."

As well as the above grades, Near Mint is often used as well; this is really for a record that appears new but is known to have been played because the label has light spindle marks or because it has come from a previous owner and is assumed to have been played by them. For records which appear to fall between the accepted grades, + and - are also often added to the grading.

In addition to the basic grading, any individual faults should be noted separately such as if an otherwise Excellent cover has a name written on it, or a 7" single is missing its original centre etc.
