THE SLEEVE

THIS VERY RARE DOUBLE ALBUM IS HOUSED IN IT’S ORIGINAL GATEFOLD PICTURE SLEEVE WHICH IS IN STRONG EXCELLENT CONDITION. THIS BEAUTIFUL SLEEVE IS ALMOST BOX-LIKE IN IT’S CONSTRUCTION. THERE ARE SOME TINY INDENTED MARKS AND SOME VERY LIGHT CREASING TO ONE OF THESE CORNERS. THE WIDE SPINE IS PERFECT, STRAIGHT AND PERFECTLY VISIBLE.

THE INSERT

THE FULL-COLOUR, FOLD-OUT INSERT IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. THERE ARE NO FLAWS.

THE INNER SLEEVES

THE ORIGINAL ILLUSTRATED INNER SLEEVES ARE BOTH IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION. THERE ARE JUST A FEW SIGNS OF CAREFUL HANDLING.

THE VINYL

VISUALLY THE FOUR SIDES OF EXTREMELY HEAVY, GLOSSY BLACK VINYL ALL APPEAR TO BE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION AND EVEN UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT I CAN SEE A COUPLE OF TINY HAIRLINE MARKS. I HAVE LISTENED TO ALL FOUR SIDES AND THE SOUND QUALITY IS GENERALLY SUPERB THROUGHOUT. I DID DETECT SOME MINOR & OCCASIONAL SLIGHT INTERFERENCE AND ONE OR TWO TINY CLICKS BUT ONLY DURING SIDE TWO.

THE LABELS

THE PICTURE LABELS ARE ALL IN NEAR MINT CONDITION WITH NO MARKS AT ALL.

RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING SYSTEM

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, DISCOLOURATION, ETC.
