LIKE NEW CONDITION
WE SEE ONLY JUST TWO VERY FAINT TRACES OF SPINDLE ACTIVITY
OUT OF THE FOUR SIDES
WE DOUBT IF THIS 2 RECORD SET WAS EVER PLAYED
BEYOND MERE TABLING AND/OR SAMPLING
THE GROOVES ON 'MARCH TO SCAFFOLD' AT 45 RPM
ARE ASTONISHING
MANDATORY AUDIOPHILE ADDITION TO YOUR LIBRARY
THE COVER IS NO LONGER IN IT'S ORIGINAL SHRINK AND THE
GATEFOLD HAS BEEN OPENED AND SO IT IS POSSIBLE THAT
VERY MINOR SIGNS OF BEING HANDLED MIGHT BE VISIBLE
OTHERWISE IT IS A N/MINT COVER WITH SOME HANDLING

MEDIA IS:
     N/MINT ~ SAME AS UNPLAYED BUT MAYBE SPINDLED OR                                   POSSIBLY SAMPLED
COVER/SLEEVE IS:
   STRONG EX(+) one micro grade below n/mint because it is not                              in shrink and the gatefold has been opened* (see below)
* (once these reference recording gatefolds are de-shrinked and gatefold     is opened they immediately are not 'like new' anymore     this is a well-cared for and well stored almost brand new or like-new         cover it has been de-shrinked and the gatefold has been opened     the spine is in strong EX(+) condition with no fading or obvious bad     storage issues - it is not in still-sealed or brand new condition but    it IS in like-new or very well cared-for and    well stored condition = STRONG EX+)
ONLY COPY BETTER WOULD BE AN OVER-PRICED STILL SEALED COPY
grading standards for this auction are 
vinyl:  '....Near Mint (NM or M-) A nearly perfect record. Many dealers won't give a grade higher than this implying (perhaps correctly)that no record is ever truly perfect.  The record should show no obvious signs of wear. A 45 RPM or EP sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling. 
An LP 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. 
Near Mint is the highest price listed in all Goldmine price guides. Anything that exceeds this grade, in the opinion of both buyer and seller, is worth significantly more than the highest Goldmine book value.
GRADING STANDARDS OF COVER IS:        STRONG EX(+) version of definition shown below - barely detectable signs of being handled                                              

Excellent (E)

The record has been played, butsound is still very great . There should not be surface marks or scratches, and the cover may have slight creasing or wear. The extra items are included and in the same condition as the cover. These still can sell for high prices and can still be collector's items
