Label: Charisma
Catalogue No: CAS 1051

Vinyl: (EX/EX+) Lovely `Thick Vinyl` 1st Press Copy, looks almost as new under normal light, however on closer inspection under Bright Halogen Spotlights I can see several paper scuffs and some light hairlines, there are no feelable scratches, no sticks or jumps on playback or anything that ruined the listening experience (this being a quality thick 1st issue pressing it plays Fab) there will be some light dust style crackle in places. Sleeve: (EX+/NM) Matt finish `E.J.Day Group, London`, Gatefold is a joy to hold as it has been so well looked after, Nice Sharp undamaged Spine, Sound undamaged edges, a couple of small spine creases, no rubbing or ringwear, this really is a top copy of this rare sleeve (see photos) Labels: Classic rare `Pink Scroll` labels - no visible spindle lines, but has some rubbing on side 1 (see photos) Post/Packing: UK - £5.50, Europe - £7.50, World £9.50I use professionally made packers with card stiffeners & record removed from album cover
Gradings: I use the standard UK gradings as set out in Record Collector Magazine 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.
Near Mint, EX+, VG+ etc are acceptable additions to help `fine tune` descriptions for the buyer
