Mike Moran, Eddy Grant, Eric Clapton, George Harrison – Water (Original Soundtrack Recording) (1985)

Condition (refer also to notes at bottom):
Vinyl – EX. Wonderfully clean on visual inspection. No obvious signs of wear or scratches. Played just pre-listing and sound clarity is superb. A very enjoyable listen. Could be harder to find a finer example of this rare soundtrack.
Outer sleeve (cover) – EX. Colours are bright and unfaded. Very light disc outline near top area. A few tiny nicks on the corners and a very slight dent in top left corner. Couple of minor marks across front but overall very clean. Edges, spine and aperture are all near pristine. Reverse is exceptionally clean as well with just light disc impression and the odd crease. Overall, fantastic.
Inner sleeve – EX. Original. White paper with angled aperture corners. Printed blue text at the bottom of one side detailing copyright notice. Clean and intact.

ITEM CONDITION - items are graded according to Record Collector definitions - see below:

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, discolouration, 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.
