Michel Legrand ?– Twenty Songs Of The Century (1974)

Condition (refer also to notes at bottom):
Vinyls: VG-EX. Look superbly clean on visual inspection. No obvious signs of any marks, scuffs or hairlines on side 1,2 and 4. Two short scuff marks on side 3. Played just pre-listing and sound clarity is great throughout. Just some mild surface noise at run-ins and some light static throughout, most noticeable during quieter sequences. Plays with no skipping, jumping or sticking. A decent listening experience.
Outer sleeve (Cover): G-VG. Superb silver gatefold with black printing. Some scuffing across front, notably around disc ring. Edges and spine show mild scuffing. Rear aperture badly dogeared. Corners have slight wear and buckling. Rear outer gate disc ring evident and more scuffing and creasing. Aperture wear visible here as well. Inner gate has a few marks across surface but nothing major and all text readable and clear.
Inner Sleeves: VG. White paper with curved corners. Clean and intact but yellowed round edges. Some folding and creasing.

ITEM CONDITION - items are graded according to Record Collector definitions - see below:

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.

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.

FAIR: 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: 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: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler.
