COUNTRY OF ORIGIN : Gt. BRITAIN RECORDING YEAR : 1960 MATRIX : 1YRA 1555 1 /  2YRA 1555 1 (Indicates an early pressing)
VINYL RECORD - VISUAL & AUDIO:  EX- / VG : Visually the record appears to be in excellent condition - a couple of minor  scratches/marks but overall the record appears to be in excellent shape visually - an excellent minus for visual. Overall sound quality is generally very good - plays fine all the way through with no skips or jumps - however there are audible intermittent crackles/tics during play on both sides - more noticeable during quieter moments - but overall no real major deterioration in sound - a very good grade for audio.
OUTER COVER: VG: Normal wear due to age - a light scuff mark to the front with minor wear the to the corners/edges. The back has tanned with minor markings/staining - but no real major defects to the cover which is still solid and intact - overall a very good.

INNER SLEEVE : VG- : Original paper/polythene inner sleeve - again general wear due to age - lightly tanned with a stain mark on both sides - very good minus.


Vinyl Record Grading System

So as to try and avoid disappointment I play all records before listing them and attempt to grade them as conservatively as I can using the following guide - however please remember that some vinyl records regardless of condition can still have an occasional tiny tic :-


MINT (M):

The record itself will be unplayed and 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 will be in perfect condition.

NEAR MINT (NM): 

The record will appear like new but will be known to have been played before because it has come from
a previous owner and the record will therefore be assumed to have been played by them - the label might have some light spindle marks. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster will be in near perfect condition.
 

EXCELLENT (EX):

The record might show some signs of having been played before and there may be some infrequent light surface/background noise and/or some occasional light ticks during playback but there will be very little lessening in sound quality and overall still a great copy. The cover and packaging will have slight wear and / or creasing.


VERY GOOD (VG):

The record will obviously have been played many times before, it may have some obvious light background noise (crackles/ticks) but no real major deterioration in sound quality, despite any noticeable surface marks or the occasional light scratch. The cover will have normal wear and tear also on any extra items, without any major defects, is also acceptable.


GOOD (G):

The record will have been played so much that the sound quality will have noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some
distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents will suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc

For any records that appear to fall between the above grades a plus (+) or minus (-) sign will be added to try and provide a more accurate grading.
