CONDITION:       STRICT  U.K. MAGAZINE  'RECORD COLLECTOR'  GRADING SYSTEM USED.  I aim to provide an accurate and honest appraisal of condition.  It’s in my best interests to do so.  I WANT YOU TO COME BACK.    All records are checked in good natural light and play tested IN FULL at a high volume on high-end audio equipment.    Used records are cleaned using a Moth vacuum record cleaning machine prior to play testing, unless condition deems unnecessary. 

Playing condition ranges from VG- to EX+/NrMINT, with the vast majority of the album playing toward/at the higher grades.  Album has clearly had little previous play.   Lower grade due to some rotational audible surface noise on first half of side1, and rotational audible surface noise/clicks on latter half of side4.    Overall, NO loud overpowering crackle  NO loud groove-wear  NO jumps  NO sticking. 

Visually, in good daylight, the vinyl looks EX+/NrMINT, if not better for some sides.   Very, very few and light surface-only marks.  Vinyl still lovely and clean and retains its original sheen.  Most sides still look as new.   Very, very slight edge warp on disc1, but this has absolutely no effect on play.  

Labels are EX+/NrMINT.  Very few and faint spindle marks.  Couple of spot marks on side3 label.   All text perfectly readable.  NO writing  NO stickers.

Box is in VG/VG- condition.  Would grade much higher if not for tiny tear to one of corners and a couple of edges have obvious staining/discolouration (see photos).  No writing  No stickers.  

Inners still nice and neat.  Some creasing/crumpling only.  NO seam splits!  NO rips/tears  NO writing  NO stickers. 

Insert is easily VG+.  Some creasing/crumpling.  Odd stain spot/mark.  NO rips/tears  NO writing  NO stickers. 

PLEASE SEE PHOTOS FOR TRACKLISTING AS WELL AS A GOOD LOOK AT CONDITION.  PHOTOS ARE OF ACTUAL ITEM FOR SALE - NO STOCK PHOTOS USED. 

Record Collector Magazine Grading System  - VINYL

MINT The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items 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 scratches. Normal wear and tear on the cover and extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable

GOOD (G) The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeable 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 deface

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
