THE RECORD IS UNFORTUNATELY WARPED

(IT SAYS SLIGHTLY ON THE LABEL ATTACHED TO THE EMI

PICTURE, BUT PLEASE SEE PHOTOGRAPHS). I HAVE TRIED

PLAYING TO TEST AND ALTHOUGH THE RECORD SURFACE IS

IN GOOD CONDITION, THE WARPING OBVIOUSLY EFFECTS THE 

PLAYING OF THE RECORD. 

SO THIS ITEM IS BEING

SOLD FOR COLLECTORS ONLY.

PLEASE BE AWARE THAT YOU WON'T BE PLAYING THE RECORD

DUE TO THE SURFACE, AT LEAST NOT THE FIRST FEW TRACKS, AS

THE WARPS IS ON THE OUTER EDGE. BUT I DON'T KNOW

ANY SERIOUS COLLECTOR THAT WOULD PLAY IT ANYHOW.

UK TEST PRESSINGS WERE PRODUCED IN VERY SMALL 

QUANTITIES (UNDER 25) & MANY MAY BE DESTROYED

OR KEPT OUT OF CIRCULATION BY THE LUCKY FEW THAT

HAD ACCESS TO THEM.

THE RECORD COVER ITSELF IS ACTUALLY A FOLDER TYPE

SLEEVE & IS IN GOOD CONDIITON, INSIDE THERE ARE TRACES

WHERE THE PRESS KIT WAS ATTACHED, BUT UNFORTUNATELY I DON'T 

HAVE THIS IN MY POSSESION.

COVER AND PHOTO : GOOD CONDITION

RECORD : POOR DUE TO WARPING

Record Collector Magazine's Grading Guide:

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, discolouration, 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."

As well as the above grades, Near Mint is often used as well; this is really for a record that appears new but is known to have been played because the label has light spindle marks or because it has come from a previous owner and is assumed to have been played by them. For records which appear to fall between the accepted grades, + and - are also often added to the grading.

In addition to the basic grading, any individual faults should be noted separately such as if an otherwise Excellent cover has a name written on it, or a 7" single is missing its original centre etc.
