Description
Side 1 Track 3 is erroneously listed as “celebration” instead of “celebration day” on the label
Red / plum labels
“So mote it be” / “do what thou wilt” on runoffs
A5 / B7 matrix numbers,
Gatefold sleeve with fully working wheel
The disc looks VG, it has retained some shine, under a spotlight there are several light marks but nothing that significantly impacts play. I’ve played it all through on my pro-ject turntable and side 1 plays excellent with strong and clear audio throughout. There were no skips, no sticks, no loud pops, no persistent background noise. On side 2 there’s a little surface noise on the intro to Tangerine and 8 or so clicks at the start of Bron-y-aur stomp (not overly intrusive in my opinion) otherwise it’s fine, plays as side 1, overall a great listen. It sits flat on the turntable.
The labels have moderate spindle traces but are free from handwriting etc.
The gatefold sleeve is in VG+ condition, fully legible spine, slight wear, parts of the back have become unglued. There is yellowing on the inside gatefold on the left (in contrast the right hand side is very white) and on the rear there is some horizontal creasing of the laminate that looks to me like a production issue.
Please see photos.
The record has been cleaned on my Pro-Ject VC-S cleaner using fluid that is alcohol free.
If you have any questions please ask.
------------------
Gradings refer to the UK Record Collector Magazine standard (shown below). I would only use "mint" for genuinely unplayed records. Visual grading is done under a spoltlight. Play testing is done on a pro-ject turntable.
If buyer is not satisfied for any reason please contact me, I will refund on safe return of item.
Record will be packaged in a proper mailer with stiffening.
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 condition. 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 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 (G) - 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
