PLEASE STUDY THE PHOTOS CAREFULLY - THIS IS ABOUT THE BEST CONDITION COPY I HAVE EVER SEEN - PARTICULAR WITH REGARD TO THE SLEEVE. HARD TO BELIEVE THIS IS 40 YEARS OLD - A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO BUY THIS CLASSIC SINGLE IN SUCH SUPERB CONDITION!
LABELS: no writing, stickers, fingerprints, stains, - just a couple of spindle marks. See photos.
VINYL: test played again before listing - looks & plays beautifully - no marks, scratches or flaws of any kind whatsoever in normal light. Some very light marks under strong spotlight, probably down to cleaning. Spoken word intros on both sides free of 99.9% of any background noise. Sound is clear, strong & deep on both sides throughout. Would grade audibly as M- and visually as Ex+
SLEEVE: no ring wear, seam splits, discolouration, stains, tears, writing or other damage, - edges/foldbacks/opening all sharp, secure, clean and undamaged. Very faintest of creases. ABOUT THE BEST CONDITION SLEEVE FOR THIS RELEASE I HAVE EVER SEEN - STUNNING!!

From my private collection and a smoke/pet free home. The item will be posted in a purpose made cardboard 7" mailer. Vinyl will be posted externally to the sleeve, in a protective white paper sleeve, to ensure prevention of possible seam splits/wear etc. in transit. Picture sleeve will be housed in a clean protective polythene sleeve.
Postage costs at cost price within UK. I occasionally re-use/recycle 7" single cardboard mailers ONLY if fit for purpose to keep down postage cost so that savings can be passed on to the buyer. Generally I post first-class, signed for delivery within the UK. If you wish for any other specific type of postage please let me know so that costs can be obtained. International shipping costs are at eBay's own Global Shipping Programme costs and conditions and outside of my control. Proof of postage is always obtained and copies of any shipping information can be supplied upon request.
Payment to be made within 24 hours please, once the auction had ended.
Please check my feedback and bid/buy in complete confidence. As you will note I am also a buyer/collector myself and I ensure I treat buyers as I would wish to be treated myself. I promise to respond to any communications and resolve any issues quickly ensuring absolute buyer satisfaction at all times.
Many thanks for looking and wishing all bidders the best of luck.
Record Collector Magazine's Grading Guide:
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. Q
