Original UK 2nd Press LP
Elektra (EKS 74005)
Scarce UK original on the smooth orange Elektra label with silver print in outstanding collectbale condition. Housed in the rarer fully laminated UK sleeve. Also has the correct plain white "Patent Applied For" inner sleeve. Not only is the silver print variation harder to find than the black print version, but this copy is in really superb condition, with the record looking as close to unplayed as i think you'll ever find.
The sleeve is in an outstanding excellent + condition. There are no splits, no tears, no writing, no bends an no creases. The only thing keeping it from near mint is some laminate lift on the front by the bottom of the spine.
Comes with the correct plain white "Patent Applied For" inner sleeve with the print in a dark greay rather than black.
Both labels are in near mint condition. There is just the very slightest touch of spindle wear and about three spider marks. Looks to have rarely been played
The record is in a wonderful near mint condition and looks to have hardly ever been on a turntable. It has its full original deep gloss sheen and the run out grooves on both sides are almost mirror fresh, you can see that a stylus has very rarely been over them. Would be near impossible to upgrade this copy.
Please note that we grade all records the same whether they are 40 years old or 1 year old.

Our grading is strict so as not to disappoint, we have been selling on ebay since 1998 & know how important this is. Grading of records is done with the record angled under two 50 Watt halogen bulbs. Pictures are of actual item up for auction.
All records are packed securely & most importantly packed outside of the picture sleeve (in a plain inner sleeve) so as to avoid seam splits during shipping.
Near Mint
Almost mint. Very minor paper scuffs and very little else can appear on the vinyl. This will most likely have occurred during packaging, or removing the record from the inner sleeve but obviously it had been handled with extreme care. Any flaw should be very hard to see. The cover should look as close to perfect with only minor signs of wear and/or age. Minor impressions to the cover (due to the outer edge of the vinyl resting inside) may be acceptable, however the artwork should be as close to perfect as can be.
Excellent
An excellent condition for vinyl will allow minor scuffs (Scuffs lay on top of the grooves) which are visible but only slightly.The wear should be minimal.The play should be close to perfect as well. Some impression to the cover (minor outer ring wear) but no ink wear. Some slight creases to the corners, but not wrinkled and obtrusive to the eye. The corners can show a little white, meaning slight wear. No seam splits or writing on the cover or taped repairs.
VG++
As Excellent but with a larger number of scuffs, maybe a couple of hairlines (very light scratch that can't be felt) or a couple of marks on both sides. Sound quality should still be very close to that of an Excellent record with only minor crackle in quiet segments only, NO scratches that can be felt. Cover as Excellent but there may be a small seam split on the cover, or a very minimal amount of writing like a name written in small writing or a number. A VG++ record should be an acceptable record to live with if you aren't looking to pay the price of a Near Mint copy.
