****************************************************************
This is a very hard to find pressing bought in the UK at the time of release in 1982. It is not a modern reissue.
Originally released in October 1981 with grey labels and an embossed card cover, Factory issued a limited edition Christmas present of Still with a different cover and blue labels in December 1981.
In 1982 remaining first press embossed covers were paired with remaining stock of the blue label discs and so this version was briefly available, before reverting to the grey label design and yet-another version of the cover.
These copies with the original grey card embossed cover and blue labels are easily the rarest version of Still. This was NOT released with the card inner sleeves.
The cover is in great condition with some slight marks and signs of age on the outside, but no tears, splits or anything major. The vinyl is in Excellent (Ex) condition (or better) and, judging by the spindle marks, the discs appear to have been very rarely played. Includes the ORIGINAL plain inner sleeves, with no significant issues.
Detracting features not covered above: None.
All photographs are of the actual item for sale. Please ask any questions before you bid or buy.
Where gradings are given these are based on the UK Record Collector grading system (see below) and are visual gradings only, unless the listing specifically states that it is a play-grading.
I use the UK RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING SYSTEM. This grading system differs from some other grading systems, in particular the Goldmine grading system. Please make sure that you are familiar with the UK record collector grading system before you bid.
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.
Good: 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: 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: 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: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
Plus (+) or Minus (-) are added where items fall between gradings. I only ever use one plus or minus.
