CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT
A superb, richly coloured unworn set with just a small number of light spindle trails around each unworn centre hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT-
Extremely clean, deep-gloss playing surfaces which retain all of their original shine. A couple of small non-feelable & non-sounding surface marks. Close examination with a halogen lamp reveal some harmless wispy paper-type hairlines. Both sides of this disc lie flat on the turntable when playing.
Sound Quality: EXCELLENT
The sound quality throughout is clean, warm and completely free from any groove/play wear. My single careful play-check at volume picked up just a little light static crackle in the quieter parts of the set but nothing intrusive.
Cover: EXCELLENT
A 1st class example of this cover which retains its richly coloured, high-gloss finish with very light storage rubbing. A few light laminate wrinkles towards the spine but no major damage or wear. Both seams are smooth and unstressed and the spine is fully worded.

RECORD COLLECTOR Grading System.
In order to assist everyone who buys and sells rare discs, Record Collector magazine has originated a set of standards for the condition of second-hand records.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 the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
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.
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.
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, discoloration, etc.
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.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
