Grading Notes: 

*This record has been Professionally 6-Stage Ultrasonic Deep Cleaned by AudioZomba (RRP £3.95) before sound testing, Free of Charge. Anti-Static Poly Sleeve included.

A. Vinyl Appearance: VG+  : The Vinyl has retained some of its original glossy black lustre. Under strong light there are many light wispy paper sleeve hairlines and signs of light surface rub in places. The labels, unusually, have barely a sign of spindle marks. Just one or two very faint hairlines. - See Pics 

B. Complete Sound Test* : VG+: Our complete sound test was pleasantly surprising with a few repeat soft clicks on Side 1, Track 1 for a minute or so. In general the tracks played really well with full rich audio fidelity. There is some soft rustle/crackle between tracks and in quieter sections. 'Michelle' has some background rustle which is not too obtrusive. No jumps or skips whatsoever. - See Pics

A+B Combined Overall Grading: 

Cover/Inners:  VG/VG : Cover is Intact with nice laminate to the front face. The cover has a lot of creases along the spine and closed edges. Edges are quite scuffed. There is laminate lift along the opening edge, which is also thumb worn with little splits. Original 'MADE IN INDIA' EMI 'Use Emitex'  paper inner is all intact with no writing. Several faults and neat internal sellotape repair. Creased and yellowed with age.    - See Pics

Grading & Valuation

Our Grading Guarantee explained:

We Grade your record carefully following the Record Collector Guide using many years of experience. However, grading is ultimately subjective and despite being very strict, we may not always please everyone. Please do not leave negative feedback if you are not fully satisfied. We offer a full No Quibble Return, Swap or Refund and we are here to help.

In order to assist everyone who buys and sells rare discs, Record Collector magazine has originated a set of standards for the condition of second-hand records, cassettes and CDs. Anyone buying or selling records through the magazine must use our conditions to state what amount of wear and tear the disc, its sleeve and/or contents have been subject to. The seven standard condition categories, and a description of what each one means, are listed below:

MINT (M) : 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 (EX): 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 (VG): 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 (G): 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, discoloration, etc.

FAIR (F): 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 (P): 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 (B): The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
