A Fair condition disc. LOTS of surface marks/scuffs/scratches/spindle marks (see photos). This record has been played a lot, and not well cared for ..BUT - No skips, jumps, warps, sticking, or writing on labels. Original MONO mixes. Please click on all photos to see them at full size, to get a better idea of the look of the condition of the vinyl.

Despite poor appearances, this record actually plays quite well, with reasonably good sound overall. There is some surface noise, and some 'pops' here and there. It remains a listenable LP though. Tested on a Thorens turntable.

Laminated sleeve in Good condition. Flipback design "printed and made by Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd." Some general wear. Some creasing to front lower right corner area and to rear opening edge area. Some age related discolouration and spots in places. A couple of very minor biro marking to rear. No seam splits, apart from a 1cm split at lower right corner of the opening edge (see photo). No wear or damage to spine, and all text still clearly legible.

GRADING:

All records are graded using the UK ‘Record Collector’ format:

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, discoloration, etc.

FAIR (F): 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 (P): 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 (B): The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
