THE SLEEVE

THE HEAVY FRONT LAMINATED SLEEVE, WITH PASTED SLICK TO REAR, IS IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION. THERE IS SOME SLIGHT WEAR AND THERE IS SOME MINOR TANNING TO THE BACK. THE EDGES AND CORNERS ARE ALL NICE AND STRAIGHT. THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF TINY SCUFF MARKS TO TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES.

THE VINYL

VISUALLY THE HEAVY GLOSSY BLACK VINYL APPEARS TO BE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT I CAN ONLY SEE A FEW SLIGHT MARKS. I HAVE FULLY PLAYED THE RECORD AND CAN CONFIRM THAT THE SOUND QUALITY IS GENERALLY EXCELLENT THROUGHOUT. I ONLY NOTED SOME VERY VERY SLIGHT & OCCASIONAL SURFACE INTERFERENCE. VERY NICE.

THE LABELS

THE PURPLE & SILVER TEXTURED PHILIPS LABELS, WITH ”HI-FI STEREO” LOGOS, ARE BOTH IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION WITH JUST A FEW TINY SPINDLE MARKS.

THIS RECORD HAS BEEN CLEANED ON A MOTH RECORD CLEANING MACHINE. ALL MY RECORDS ARE REMOVED FROM ANY PICTURE SLEEVE TO PREVENT KNIFING. I USE SPECIALIST MAILERS AND STIFFENERS TO PROTECT YOUR RECORD. I DO NOT USE FLIMSY ENVELOPE-STYLE MAILERS. MY RECORDS ARE PLACED IN A BRAND NEW 400g POLYTHENE SLEEVE PRIOR TO DESPATCH. ALL MY RECORDS ARE FULLY PLAYED AND LISTENED TO CAREFULLY TO ENSURE ACCURATE GRADING.

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.

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.
