****************************************************************
This is an early pressing bought in the UK around 1974. It is not a modern reissue.
This has A6/B4 matrix numbers.
Visually the whole thing is in very nice condition. There is a crease to one of the stickers (see photo showing the back of the stickers where you can see the crease quite clearly) but otherwise the stickers and posters have very little sign of use or age. The gatefold cover has some mild signs of wear, but nothing significant. The disc looks great with just a few small or light marks visible, and only light spindle marking on the labels. I would visually grade the record around Excellent (Ex). I was intending to list this with a full play-grading, but when I started listening to it, I found the vinyl to be noisier than I was expecting from its visual appearance. So, I've listened to bits of it and would state that it doesn't sound anywhere near as good as it looks (especially at the start of each side). So, if you want a complete early copy where everything LOOKS nice, then this is for you. But if you're after a pure-audio experience, this sadly isn't it. The price reflects this.
Detracting features not covered above: None.
All photographs are of the actual item for sale. Please look at the photos and ask any questions before you bid or buy.
Where gradings are given these are based on the UK Record Collector grading system (see below) and are visual gradings only, unless the listing specifically states that it is a play-grading.
I use the UK RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING SYSTEM. This grading system differs from some other grading systems, in particular the Goldmine grading system. Please make sure that you are familiar with the UK record collector grading system before you bid.
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, discoloration, 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.
Plus (+) or Minus (-) are added where items fall between gradings. I only ever use one plus or minus.
