Condition
SLEEVE
EXCELLENT plus
Garrod & Lofthouse flipback sleeve. Very strong with splendid laminate front; sharp undamaged edges; clean, clear back with excellent flipbacks - see photos.
Rated as excellent but in my opinion one of the best you'll find.
Original CAPITOL inner liner
LABELS
NEAR MINT
VINYL
PLAY: NEAR MINT
Super example of an amazing recording; superb sound, crystal with only the vaguest of very occassional background. Great depth of sound, blew me away play testing this.
VISUAL: EXCELLENT plus
With reference to vinyl sounding surface would grade as NEAR MINT, but in strong artificial light when held at a certain angle uniform 'vinyl misting' effect evident on both sides: a none sounding visual effect, resulting from contact with inner poly liner - (see Record Collector Magazine issue 402).
If you require further details/photos please feel free to contact me.
GRADING
I use the Record Collector Magazine grading system:-
Unless the record is still sealed I don't use MINT at all.
However great the sleeve is I virtually always describe them as Excellent; I will state if there are any very minor faults - anything major and I just won't list the record.
With regard to the vinyl itself I will state it as Near Mint if it is visually without fault; Excellent vinyl may have exceptionally minor / barely visible none sounding marks (visible only in strong artificial light when the vinyl is angled). I will not list vinyl in less than Excellent condition unless it is unbelievably rare.
I do background play test the vast majority of LPs, and study test rare/expensive ones.
Having bought from EBay myself I appreciate that Near Mint covers a multitude of sins - I do spend considerable time trying to ensure A1 quality and will refund you if you're disappointed.
Feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions.
(I use cruciform cardboard box mailers with extra stiffeners for all purchases)
