The record is in EX-/VG+ condition. There are more surface marks than one would want to see, including one or two light scratches. None cause any real problems, apart from a couple of light clicks here and there. Other than that, the sound remains very clear and has not deteriorated, and there are no skips or jumps. I have tried to be as honest as possible, and if anything, I have made it sound worse than it actually is. Overall it sounds great and the surface marks look worse than they sound.

The Garrod & Lofthouse flipback sleeve is also in EX-/VG+ condition. I would grade it higher except for the fact that a previous owner has fixed sellotape over the opening edges to protect them. Other than that, and a few light creases, there is nothing wrong with it. The spine is clean and sharp, top and bottom edges are free from scuffs and the back of the sleeve is very clean. There is no writing or tears.

 

If any further explanation or pictures are required, please le me know.

As with all the records I am selling, a full refund is offered if the winning bidder is not happy with the item.

Postage costs (discount given on multiple purchases):

 

Postage is NOT free. Until Royal Mail start offering a free service, it costs around £2.00 to post a record and obviously more for a double. Good quality record mailers with 2 card stiffeners also cost me 50p approximately. Therefore, in order to adhere to ebay's policy, UK 1st class postage is included in the sale price, and overseas postage rates have been reduced to reflect this.

 

Overseas postage

 

Europe - £1.50

Rest of the World - £3.50
