Album Condition Excellent+

Album Still has its original high gloss sheen to it. Album under very bright light I can't see slightest of scuffing or scratches. If they are there I am unable to see. Looks like the record has only been played a very few times. Unable to see any spindle trail marks. Record  has a very enjoyable sound to it. Album has very little background noise in between the tracks. And then again the album could use a good professional cleaning. There are no skip, no jumps.
Matrix numbers side 1 YEX 773-2U / Stampers 9 o'clock 1/ 3 o'clock GGD
Matrix numbers side 2 YEX 774-2U /
Stampers 9 o'clock 2 /  3 o'clock AT making this one of the first 300 albums off the press. This is how Stampers are used. Using the table below

G=1

R=2

A=3

M=4

O=5

P=6

H=7

L=8

T=9

D=0

These letters are derived from the phrase "Gramophone Ltd." and the letters may appear individually or in combination with others. Each stamper was usually used to press 300-500 discs, and then it was discarded and replaced with a new one. The first 300-500 copies of a given title, for instance, would have the letter "G" stamped in the vinyl at the 3 o'clock position. The next 300 500 copies would use a different stamper.

Label Condition Excellent +

Labels are in excellent condition. No  sticker's. Labels have no sign spindle tracks.

Cover condition Excellent

There are no rips or tears, no writing. Spine is in excellent condition. Corners are very sharp and show very little if any bumping to them.. Cover shows some mild ring wear and a couple of minor bends on the cover expected from an album this old. Spine is in excellent condition and very legible.

Inner sleeve condition Excellent +

Album comes with original white inner sleeve with patent numbers and Made in Great Britain text. There are no rips or tears, no unwanted writing. Sleeve looks like new and never used.

Book Condition

Book is in Excellent condition except for some rubbing on the first page and just the lightest of a bend in the rear cover. All pages are intact with the spin as these books were know to come loose from their binding from the cover as they were poorly glued together. There are no rips or tears, writing or stackers in the book. Pictures are absolutely wonderful to look at as this book was made from the making of the album.

So if you have a box set and your album and book are not in the greatest condition these would make a great addition.

Goldmine Record Grading of a near mint record.

VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) or EXCELLENT (E)

A good description of a VG+ record is “except for a couple minor things, this would be Near Mint.” Most collectors, especially those who want to play their records, will be happy with a VG+ record, especially if it toward the high end of the grade (sometimes called VG++ or E+).

VG+ records may show some slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK. Minor signs of handling are OK, too, such as telltale marks around the center hole, but repeated playing has not misshapen the hole. There may be some very light ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable.

VG+ covers should have only minor wear. A VG+ cover might have some very minor seam wear or a split (less than one inch long) at the bottom, the most vulnerable location. Also, a VG+ cover may have some defacing, such as a cut-out marking. Covers with cut-out markings can never be considered Near Mint.

I will ship I'm media box with cardboard stiffeners and make the package to where you receive your album's as safely as possible.

I will only ship albums to the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom as the cost to shipping to other countries is to expensive and they take to long to get through customs and I don't want any negative feedback left for either not receiving an album or it took to long for you to receive. So if you live in a different country other than listed please don't bid. Because if you do and your the winning bidder I will cancel the order and sell to the next highest bidder. I am very sorry !!!
