Dimitri Tiomkin,  The Sinfonia Of London ?– 55 Days At Peking (The Original Soundtrack Recording) (1963)

Condition (refer also to notes at bottom): Vinyl: VG. Both sides look unsoiled. Some light marks and scuffs across both sides but only superficial and nothing major – and no deep scratches. Played just pre-listing and sound clarity is very good overall but excellent in places. Little to no surface noise and static at side 1 run-in, side 2 has mild static at start. Very light surface noise in places, which is more obvious during quieter cues. Vocal at start of side 2 sounds fantastic. Plays with no skipping, jumping or sticking. Outer Sleeve (Cover): VG-EX. Colours remain bright and unfaded. Superb laminated front has only very mild defects. Couple of curved creases across front and one or two in from top edge. Very light disc ring at top but edges, spine and corners are in fantastic shape. Only light wear to aperture. Back of sleeve looks good with flipbacks all present and attached. A few creases on them and soiling on inner bands. Aperture lightly worn from this side. Very minor stains and discolouration visible but nothing major. Inner Sleeve: EX. White paper with curved corners. Folding and creasing but clean and intact.

ITEM CONDITION - items are graded according to Record Collector definitions - see below:

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, discolouration, 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.
