A superb first pressing vinyl which has been kept in storage since 1982, when the vinyl was played only once. As a result, there are no signs of wear or marks anywhere on the vinyl - it is in quite unbelievable condition.
Superb vinyl that has retained its amazing glossy sheen and finish. There is no loss of shine anywhere and overall it is in incredible condition for an LP of this age.
Record labels are clean and the print is clearly visible.
No sticky residue or discoloration.
just a few spidermarks around the centre hole , plus no spindle wear - whatsoever.
SLEEVE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION
very light minor storage wear
Sleeve has been nicely cared for.

GRADINGS ARE BASED ON RECORD COLLECTOR
MINT: 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: 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: 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.
I DO NOT SELL ANY VINYL GRADED LESS THAN VG, UNLESS IT IS ANYTHING THAT IS VERY RARE OR SPECIAL.
