THERE IS ALSO A 4” SPLIT TO THE BLACK SHRINK WRAP ALONG ONE EDGE. I CAN SEE NO FLAWS TO THE CARD PICTURE SLEEVE. ADMITTEDLY I CAN ONLY SEE A VERY SMALL PART OF IT. I HAVE NO HESITATION IN SAYING THAT THE PICTURE SLEEVE IS IN AT LEAST NEAR MINT CONDITION.

THE INNER SLEEVE

THE Heavy cardboard, die cut inner sleeve HAS a picture of a red veil blowing in the wind on one side, and credits and lyrics on the other side. THE Corners are cropped, and there is a nine inch notch in the top open side. the record opening IS at the top.

THIS INNER SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION, WITH THE SLIGHTEST TANNING AND A COUPLE OF TINY MARKS.

THE VINYL

THE HEAVY VINYL IS IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION. THERE ARE JUST A FEW TINY LIGHT MARKS WHICH CAN BE SEEN UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT. THESE DO NOT DETRACT FROM THE SOUND QUALITY WHICH IS EXCELLENT+ THROUGHOUT. I PLAYED THIS EARLIER AT A LOUD VOLUME AND LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT - A CLASSIC!!

THE Text around the top edge of the label starts at 9 o'clock and says: “EMI Records Ltd. ...”. THE Text around the bottom edge of the label starts at 7 o'clock and says: “Made in GT Britain...”.

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.
