Vinyl is Very Good. The vinyl is quite glossy with a number of surface marks. I will listen to this in full to grade it on 05/09. You can listen to an unedited recording of Side 1.
Garrod and Lofthouse Ltd Patents Pending flipback sleeve is Good. Tear on bottom edges for 3.5 cms and the beginning of a spine split on bottom edge. Other more minor imperfections. Inner sleeve is a white paper inner sleeve.
Summary:- 1st pressing in average condition..................very reasonable starting price with only £3.25 P&P to UK.
This has been cleaned on a Okki Nokki RCM FREE for the buyer.
Grading system used:-
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.
Near Mint (NM) The record looks brand new with no scuffing or any deterioration in sound quality and only the smallest hint that its ever been played. The cover and any additional extras are clean, crisp and with no wear whatsoever.
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.
Fair (F) The record is still just about 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 (P) The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
I have now just enjoyed listening to this to grade it as follows:-
Vinyl is Side 1 Very Good+ / Side 2 Excellent-. This plays better than it looks. On Side 1 there are a few pops which, of course, you can hear for yourself and on Side 2 there is some very light background crackle but nothing too distracting at all. A very pleasant listen.
