This is a very nice, clean and tidy copy, the sleeve fresh looking, the vinyl of a high standard for this record.

I have relisted the item as I checked it again and was not happy with my grading. This is a more accurate description.

Records are graded using the Record Collector system as detailed below. Records are not play graded unless stated. The pictures are of the actual item.

Record -  EX+>  in soft natural light there is a single 1cm non-sounding surface mark on track 1 side 1 only, under electric light it has clearly been played a few times as there are quite a number of fine lines on both sides. The vinyl has clearly been played but carefully and has been properly looked after and stored. Labels are very clean and tidy with just a couple of spindle marks on either side further indicating careful play. The record plays superb with the usual background crackle in the quiet parts but as expected from the visual grading audio is outstanding start to finish with no faults and an awesome sound at volume.

Sleeve - Near Mint > Outstanding with a handful of laminate creases only, there is nothing that can be described as wear on this sleeve at all, no scratches, writing, rubbing, white showing, corner wear, discolouration, stains, one of the best sleeves in this record you will see.

The original polylined inner is EX+ condition with no splits, or tears, a shade of age browning top and bottom.

We recommend all international postage items have insured/tracked delivery.

All records will be packed in rigid cardboard for safe delivery. Thanks for looking!

Grading guide

 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.

NEAR MINT: The record 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.

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.
