NICE SHARP CORNERS ON ALL SIDES, NO DENTS OR BUMPS, NO HANDWRITTEN NAMES ON THE BACK EITHER, AND A COMPLETELY INTACT SPINE AT THE SIDE. BACK COVER IS SPOTLESS & CLEAN....NO DAMP OR AGE OR SMELLS OF DUST ETC....

ORIGINAL HANDWRITTEN MATRIX NUMBERS OF ILPS 9192 A1-U & B1-U ARE INCREASINGLY RARE & HARD TO FIND, IN SUCH A FANTASTIC SHAPE, AS THE ONE OFFERED HERE. THE ACTUAL RECORD HAS NO WARPING, AND SITS PERFECTLY FLAT ON A TURNTABLE.

I WOULD GRADE THE PLAY AS 99.9% PERFECT, WITH THE PERHAPS ONLY THE SLIGHTEST OF BACKGROUND NOISE (DEPENDING ON HOW YOU PERCIEVE THE LISTEN) THIS WILL NOT DISSAPOINT.

THE ORIGINAL INNER DUST COVER HAS NO SPLIT OR RECORD PUSH, NO HANDWRITTEN NAMES ONLY THE SLIGHTEST OF AGE OR FADE IN COLOUR TO BE SEEN. SO THIS WOULD BE 90% OUT OF 100%

>> Grading of Items All items are graded conservatively according to Record Collectors Grading System Record Collectors Grading system
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 condiition. Records marked 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 displayes 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 moajor defects is acceptable
Good (G) Te record has been played so much that the sound quality has notceably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, 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 scratched, 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
CD's and CASSETTES As a general rule CD's and Cassettes either play perfectly - inwhich case they are in Mint condition - or they don't, in which case their value is minimal. Cassette tape is liable to deteriorate with age, even if it remains unplayed, so care should be taken when buying old tapes. CD's are difficult to grade visually; they can look perfect but actually be faulty, while in other cases they may appear damaged but still play perfectly. Cassette and CD inlays and booklets should be graded in the same way as record covers and sleeves. In general, the plastic containers for cassettes and CDs can easily be replaces if they are broken or scratched, but card covers and digipaks are subject to the same wear as record sleeves
