Sleeve
The numbered (0064717) sleeve appears to be in G- condition with the spine completely destroyed (still holding together in some sections). Pen mark to front cover (some sort of star/sun design). The sleeve is also split at the bottom where the first disc would sit. General shelf and usage wear from over the years.
It does come with the original black inner sleeves. The records will also be shipped in a brand new polylined inner sleeves.
Vinyl
Visually the records appear to be in VG condition with a light scratches and some sleeve marks when checked under a clear white LED bulb. I have listened to sections of the album from each side and to me it sounds very good. There is some light surface noise throughout, more noticeable between tracks and in quieter passages. I noticed a couple of ticks or pops, however the sound from this album really does show just how well pressed these original albums were.
For a full system break down see further down the listing.
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 advertised 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): 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.
The use of + or - allows for items that fall between the above grades.
