See below for grading definitions
Notes: The sleeve shows only very minor signs of wear, no rips, splits or graphitti. It has a sticker removal mark top left. The disc is in great shape. Only a hand full of very light sleeve removal marks only visable under strong light and one or two slightly more noticable marks, nothing worrying.
This is the truly rare and genuine 1st press of ‘Queen’ by Queen. It is complete with the very earliest YAX 4623-3U / 4624-2U matrix with the standard Huggypoo Kiss etched in the runout, but it also has the 'Off With His Head’ text etched into the wax on Side 2. We have had a few 3U/3U presses over the years but this is the rare 3U/2U Off With His Head press. The vinyl is complete with the original company inner sleeve and matt Garrod & Lofthouse sleeve which has date code G&L 7307 (13th July 1973), 'Trident Audio..' and 'nobody played synthesizer' text.

All records are visually graded only under a strong light unless otherwise stated
Mint (M) Absolutely perfect in every way. Certainly never been played, possibly even still sealed.
Near Mint (NM) A nearly perfect record. The record should show no obvious signs of wear. The record should have no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling. The cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits or other noticeable similar defects. No cut-out holes, either. And of course, the same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves and the like. Basically, an LP in near mint condition looks as if you just got it home from a new record store and removed the shrink wrap.
Excellent (EX) An excellent record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK". The label may have some ring wear or discolouration, but it should be barely noticeable. The center hole will not have been misshapen by repeated play. Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turned up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a discount.
Very Good (VG) Many of the defects found in a EX record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them
