Description
The record and white inner sleeve are completely unmarked and 'as new', as is the outer sleeve, with the exception of a 1.5 centimeter crease along the bottom left hand corner of the front, a 3.5 centimeter scratch in the card (about 1 millimeter wide) at the top left hand corner, some 12 centimeter very slight indentations on the back that only show up in light reflections, and a slight 'dent' on the left edge of the back cover, and a couple of almost unnoticeable marks. The card has come away a little bit on the back where I removed a couple of stickers the other day (just one 3x7mm and one 9x7mm (first sticker), and one 3x8mm and one 2x5mm (second sticker) bits. i was careful removing them, but it was very difficult to avoid peeling off some of the card in the process.
Let me know if you have specific questions about this or anything else.
MORE ABOUT THE CONDITION:
A website called friktech.com talks about correct terminology for the condition of vinyl records (the above description is my plain English description in everyday terms as accurately as I can be so you can have as close an idea as possible of exactly how the record and cover are). Mine would fit under the description they have for Near Mint:
"...The condition of a record is all-important as to determining its value. The values shown are drastically reduced for lesser condition copies, as shown below:
Near Mint, or NM, condition records are unscratched. If the label has stickers or tape, this must be noted. Essentially, they look like they just came from the store.
Very Good Plus, or VG+, condition records will have very few scratches. Without close inspection, they might pass for Near Mint copies. A VG+ record normally sells for half what a NM copy goes for. In Europe, this condition is called Excellent, EX.
Very Good, or VG, condition records have a fair amount of scratches, but they by no means appear "beat up". A VG condition record normally sells for one fourth of the NM price. In Europe, this condition is called VG+.
Very Good Minus, or VG-, condition records are starting to appear quite scratched. Still, when played, they play through, although the surface noise is becoming distracting. Many singles are commonly found in this condition. A VG- condition record normally sells for one sixth of the NM price. In Europe, this condition is called VG.
Good, or G, condition records look scratched--basically all over, but they'll play through well enough to enjoy the song. A G condition record sells for one tenth of the NM price. [Some dealers also use a grade of G+, which sells for one eighth of the NM price.]
Fair, or fr, condition records are generally worthless unless the record is rare. They're scratched up and have distracting surface noise, but they're not completely ruined. No chips missing, and not cracked. They sell for one twentieth of the NM price or less.
Poor, or pr, condition records are basically ruined. They may be warped, cracked, chipped, or otherwise unsuitable for collecting. Most collectors only accept poor condition copies of something really rare until a better one comes along. They're virtually worthless..."
