Condition

All covers, labels and inners have no rips, loosening of glue, handwriting in ink or biro pen.

All records listed are in no less than EX condition (see above for actual grading). In some cases I may list a very rare record at a lesser grading but this will be described in detail. All items are graded conservatively according to Record Collectors Grading System Record Collectors Grading system (outlined at end of listing)

Brief description of item

This seriously rare soundtrack, in the condition offered (the record being the star of the show) is one, that I have only ever seen once before in person. It's a soundtrack from a 1960's film starring Suzy Kendall & Dennis Waterman. Cat # TL5460 in mono also, very rare to see these in general, in such a high condition, but as mono! well these were quickly phased out of production. So a rarer copy still.

Under extreme scrutiny (bright white light) there are not even any hairlines to be seen here. These photographs are exactly how this record appears & have NOT had any effects added to make them look better. These were taken under a bright white bulb, halogen desk lamp. This record is a time capsule from 1968...Just like it came out of the factory yesterday, I kid you not! play is absolutely flawless throughout. No ingrained dust/scratched surface/etc etc. NO negative issue to list at all. Not 1.  

The labels with my close up view here, will give the right idea to how much this was ever/if ever used. God only knows how its survived so well over these years...But hey, it has. This is the type of record that'll take your breath away when you actually see them in such a beautiful condition.

KT tax code is still highly legible & embossed on side 2. All text is fully legible & unworn. What a record! I will stake my reputation on this one, please see my feedback for 100% attention to detail when selling/offering/packing vinyl.

Obviously the cover is in VG/very good shape. All flip back tabs are intact to the cover, intact spine at the side with no split, text on side still fully legible. There are a couple of parts of wear to the top cover & one small part on the flip of the bottom. Some superficial paper aging & a little knick of the open/side loader where your record gets stored. But I must stress...Its grade is correct & right on the VG+ level. Please see the close up view, I took time in taking for you to view. If you can match this to a mint cover. you have a complete TIME CAPSULE copy. This cover is still fully acceptable & still pretty sturdy. Nice bold colours & all text is legible here also. I use custom made mailers with 2 X card stiffeners & remove the records from jacket. Please see the type & method used here in 'payment & shipping' box below. Check out the LARGE photos also. Cheers.

All vinyl comes from a smoke, damp and pet free environment

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 condiition. Records marked 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 displayes 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 notceably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, 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 scratched, 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

CD's and CASSETTES As a general rule CD's and Cassettes either play perfectly - inwhich case they are in Mint condition - or they don't, in which case their value is minimal. Cassette tape is liable to deteriorate with age, even if it remains unplayed, so care should be taken when buying old tapes. CD's are difficult to grade visually; they can look perfect but actually be faulty, while in other cases they may appear damaged but still play perfectly. Cassette and CD inlays and booklets should be graded in the same way as record covers and sleeves. In general, the plastic containers for cassettes and CDs can easily be replaces if they are broken or scratched, but card covers and digipaks are subject to the same wear as record sleeves
