Sleeve: Fully laminated gatefold (tube) sleeve that retains its original lovely sheen. All corners and spine true and square no rips, splits or writing. There is a small laminate stretch like ringwear lift visible on front cover, caused by age. Minimum signs of handling, light corner rub only.
I have owned this early pressing almost since new, and only played it a few times hence condition, graded a minimum EX knocking EX+

Labels: Clean Island labels, light signs of play only - see photos EX+
Vinyl: Nice and clean, bright and shiny: visually all sides retain their original deep gloss, one small mark S3, and would happily grade EX+ knocking NM-

I have tried to be honest and transparent in my description - the photographs form part of the description. Questions are welcome, don't hesitate to ask. I have good feedback (and positive comments) as both a buyer and seller, so you can buy with confidence. I am a collector of 40+ years the few records I sell are either the result of upgrades, duplicates or a bit of thinning every now and again. If anything is not as expected (or should you not agree with my grading) please contact me straight away, and I will do everything to resolve any problems without argument. Feedback: On receiving album/s please let me know if you have any questions, otherwise kindly leave positive feedback and I will do likewise on receipt - thank you.
I strictly adhere to the Record Collector Magazine's Grading Guide using one + or - for addition guidance:
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.
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.
