All of my records That I'm selling are from my own Personal Private Collection that mostly were Purchased on First day of release or Obtained from other Private Collectors and cherished for over 45 years and which have all been kept in a Dry storage environment and looked after to the highest standard. All Records that I do offer will have NO Warps,Jumps,sticks,writing on covers or labels unless clearly stated in descriptions.

Vinyl Condition: NM The Vinyl on all 4 playing surfaces visually appear to be UNPLAYED virtually clear and UNMARKED with NO Evidence of any Scratches or other Markings/Blemishes that can be seen all sides are in Flawless and Exceptional condition the vinyl’s are completely free from any obvious surface marks or groove wear which is quiet Remarkable and unbelievable considering this vinyl LP is 33 years old! On even closer examination under a strong halogen bulb with the disc tilted at an angle you can only then detect and reveals nothing more than a few insignificant mild faint wispy inner sleeve removal line traces that Absolutely doesn’t affect the virtually Perfect Audio Playback The vinyl lays totally flat on a moving turntable - Still retains its original deep gloss black shiny sheen and lustre - It would be near Impossible these days to find better vinyl copies of this Iconic Record that still plays without any problems! - It’s a superb Example!!!

AUDIO PLAYBACK ASSESSMENT:  There are No loud Clicks,pops,skips,jumps or repeats with No other annoying bad audio noise distortions during playback If I'm going to be Ultra Critical whilst listening through the playback you may get occasionally some very light static crackle when the very quiet tracks begin to play or on the start of run ins and in-between tracks or the very quieter elements of audio playback or if at all  but absolutely nothing of any consequence   

Please Note: This record has been stored away and not touched or cleaned for most of its 33 years it would obviously benefit from a professional clean before play as to reduce further any light dust static crackle that is still present

 Cover Condition: (Front/Back/Inside/Spine) NM  Original Cream colour gatefold cover with the Brick work oulines design are in a Lilac-Purple colour and are not completely aligned at the bottom (1st press only) Made & Printed in Great Britain by 'Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd' All elements of the covers are all in Near Mint pristine condition - Totally crisp and clean showing all its original vibrant clear sharp colours with very straight sharp edges and pointed corners - Well preserved and intact inside and out since 1979 (kept in thick plastic cover since new) - Absolutely NO Tears,splits,ink marks or other bad wear or blemishes - NO writing or other bad marks/blemishes - It looks near on Prefect - Overall an Immaculate and Exceptional Original 1st Press Copy 

Labels Condition: On Examination it's virtually impossible to see any evidence on either of these 2 LPs labels of ever being played on any of the 4 sides as there are no spindle spider marks or trails around the spindle hole - Under a bright light I can just about see one or two near invisible spindle lines near the center holes I know this is correct as I only ever played it several times from new very carefully before recording to tape - So that's why they all are in near mint pristine clean looking condition with NO Ink marks-Blemishes or other marks - They all look near perfect

Inner Sleeve: NM The Original 1st Press Inner Sleeve made with Thick heavy cardboard with rounded corners and a nine inch thumb notch and is Made of One piece of Cardboard Construction with a light brown natural finish inside (This one Piece single seam Inner Sleeve is one of the most important features in identifying an early FIRST ISSUE because the design was changed quiet quickly after manufacturing commenced and relatively few were made this way) 

Thanks for Looking and Happy Bidding!!!

  This will give any interested bidders a good indication of the quality and overall  standard of my LPs 

Record Collector's Grading System:

MINT: The Record 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 Lessing 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.
