THE SLEEVE

THE HEAVY GATEFOLD SLEEVE IS MADE FROM ONE PIECE OF CARD (TYPE 1) AND THE BRICKS DO NOT ALIGN AT THE BOTTOM. INSIDE THE GATEFOLD THE BAND MEMBERS ARE NOT LISTED IT MERELY STATES "WORDS AND MUSIC ROGER WATERS". THIS MOST ICONIC OF SLEEVES IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THERE IS NO BARCODE ON THE BACK OF THE SLEEVE. THERE IS SOME VERY SLIGHT WEAR AND THERE IS SOME MINOR DISCOLOURATION TO THIS PREDOMINANTLY WHITE SLEEVE. ALL OF THE EDGES AND CORNERS ARE SUPERB AND STRAIGHT, AS IS THE SPINE.

THE INNER SLEEVES

THE CARD INNERS HAVE ROUNDED CORNERS AND 9" THUMB NOTCHES. THEY ARE BOTH IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. THERE IS JUST A HINT OF THE SLIGHTEST WEAR AND MINOR TANNING TO EACH INNER. THERE ARE NO SPLITS.

THE VINYL

VISUALLY BOTH SLICES OF GLOSSY BLACK VINYL APPEAR TO BE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT I CAN ONLY SEE A FEW TINY HAIRLINE MARKS. I HAVE PLAYED ALL FOUR SIDES AND CAN CONFIRM THAT THE SOUND QUALITY IS NEAR MINT THROUGHOUT. THIS IS THE BEST SOUNDING COPY OF THIS GREAT ALBUM THAT I HAVE HEARD FOR A VERY LONG TIME!! 

THE LABELS

THE  LABELS ARE ALL IN NEAR MINT CONDITION AND I CANNOT SEE ANY 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.

THE USE OF PLUS (+) OR MINUS (-) ALLOWS FOR ITEMS THAT FALL BETWEEN THE ABOVE GRADES.
