Description
SLADE-Shape Of Things To Come UK 7" VG. Condition is "Used". Dispatched with Royal Mail 1st Class Large Letter.
It comes in an original Fontana sleeve.
Visibly it looks VG with some surface marks.
Audibly it plays VG+ if not better. There is some crackle on the run-in on the A side but this disappears as soon as the music starts. The B side is similar but far less crackle. It plays all the way through on both sides with no sticking and no jumps. Please do not expect a mint playback!
I try to adhere as closely as possible to the Record Collector Magazine grading system which is shown below as a guide. I do ad + and - to gradings for intermediate conditions.
When I bought this in 1970 I played it, quite a few times. Since then it's moved with me in my singles collection and hasn't been played for 50 years, until today when I wanted to check it for you guys. It still sounds er, fab and groovy! (Sorry)
RECORD COLLECTORS 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 marked 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)
Te 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 (F)
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 (P)
The record will not play properly due to scratched, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing
Bad (B)
The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler
