CONDITION
SLEEVE: (VG+) FRONT LAMINATED GARROD & LOFTHOUSE LTD. UK FLIPBACK SLEEVE HAS 'PATENTS PENDING' TEXT AND ORIGINAL 'STEREO' STICKER. INCREDIBLY IT STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL SHOP PRICE STICKER STILL ATTACHED (SEE PICTURES). BOTH STICKERS HAVE BEEN PICKED AT THE TOP SLIGHTLY BUT ARE STILL FIRMLY ATTACHED. THE SLEEVE HAS GENERAL LIGHT WEAR FROM HANDLING AND STORAGE WITH A FEW LAMINATE CREASES TO THE FRONT AND NO EDGE SCUFFING. NO RIPS & NO SPLITS.
SPINE: (EX-) ALL THE TEXT IS PERFECTLY READABLE WITH MILD/HEAVY RUBBING TO TOP AND BOTTOM CORNER. NO SPLITS.
INNER: (VG) ORIGINAL PAPER POLYLINED INNER WITH 'BRITISH AND FOREIGN PATENTS PENDING' TEXT. SOME DISCOLOURATION FROM AGE AND CREASING FROM STORAGE. NO SPLITS NO RIPS. NO WRITING.
LABELS: SIDE 1 (VG) SIDE 2 (EX) BOTH LABELS ARE FREE FROM ANY UNWANTED WRITING & STICKERS WITH ONLY A COUPLE OF LIGHT SPINDLE MARKS AROUND THE CENTRE HOLE ON EACH SIDE. SIDE 1 HAS SOME DISCOLOURATION/STAINING WHICH CAN ONLY BE SEEN WHEN YOU ANGLE THE VINYL IN LIGHT. SIDE 2 HAS 'K' & 'T' FAINTLY EMBOSSED AROUND THE CENTRE WHICH IS REALLY DIFFICULT TO SEE BUT DEFINITELY THERE - DOES NOT SHOW UP IN MY PICTURES.
VINYL VISUALLY: (VG) THE VINYL IS FLAT AND GLOSSY AND IN NORMAL LIGHT LOOKS CLOSER TO EXCELLENT. WHEN ANGLED UNDER EXTREME BRIGHT LIGHT YOU CAN SEE SOME LIGHT PAPER SCUFFS AND HAIRLINES AND SOME DUSTY AREAS. THIS VINYL WOULD BENEFIT FROM A PROFESSIONAL MACHINE CLEAN.
PLAYING GRADE: SIDE 1 (VG+) SIDE 2 (VG) BOTH SIDES HAVE BEEN CAREFULLY LISTENED TO ON HEADPHONES ON A COUPLE OF SYSTEMS WITH A SHURE WHITE LABEL CARTRIDGE & STEREO NEEDLE & THE QUIETER PARTS OF THE MUSIC PLAY AT VERY GOOD AND THE LOUDER MUSIC PLAYS EXCELLENT. NO POPS NO DISTORTION. BOTH SIDES PLAY WITH LIGHT BACKGROUND STATIC/CRACKLE NOTICEABLE IN PLACES DURING THE QUIETER PARTS AND GAPS IN THE MUSIC. THIS VINYL HAS BEEN STORED UNTOUCHED FOR OVER 40 YEARS SO OBVIOUSLY THERE HAS BEEN A BUILD UP OF DUST IN THE GROOVES. I EXPECT THAT IF THIS VINYL WERE TO BE PROFESSIONALLY MACHINE CLEANED THEN IT WOULD PLAY EVEN BETTER!! I AM BEING HIGHLY CRITICAL AND MY PLAY GRADE IS ALWAYS BASED ON WHAT I CAN HEAR ON BEYER-DYNAMIC DT-150 HEADPHONES WITH THE TREBLE TURNED UP FULL! A VERY PLAYABLE AND PRESENTABLE COPY OF A CLASSIC BEACH BOYS ALBUM!!
EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO FIND IN ANY CONDITION!!
DON`T MISS OUT ON THIS!!
GRADING
All records are graded using the Record Collector Grading System with (+) or (-) to show a slightly higher or lower grade.
M (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 lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition.
EX (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.
VG (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.
G (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.
F (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.
