THE SLEEVE

THE HEAVY, TEXTURED GATEFOLD SLEEVE IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. AT SOME POINT A PREVIOUS OWNER OBVIOUSLY TRIED TO PROTECT THE EDGES WITH CLEAR TAPE WHICH HAS LONG SINCE FALLEN OFF BUT HAS LEFT A STAIN AROUND THE EDGES AND A FEW SCUFFS. THERE IS A SMALL SCUFF MARK IN THE TOP RIGHT-HAND CORNER ON THE FRONT WHICH WAS PRESUMABLY CAUSED BY CARELESS REMOVAL OF A PRICE STICKER. THERE IS ALSO SOME LIGHT RING WEAR.

THE VINYL

VISUALLY THE GLOSSY BLACK VINYL APPEARS TO BE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. UNDER THE BRIGHTEST LIGHT I CAN SEE SOME LIGHT MARKS AND SCUFFS. THE SOUND QUALITY IS GENERALY EXCELLENT THROUGHOUT ALTHOUGH I DID DETECT SOME LIGHT & OCCASIONAL BACKGROUND INTERFERENCE AND A FEW MINOR TICKS.

THE LABELS

THE ICONIC PINK ISLAND LABELS, WITH LARGE WHITE "i" LOGO, ARE BOTH IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH PLENTY OF SPINDLE MARKS AND SOME SLIGHT DISCOLOURATION.

RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING SYSTEM

MINT (M) 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 (EX) 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 (VG) 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 (G) 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.
