:
VINYL CONDITION: VERY GOOD
SLEEVE CONDITION: EXCELLENT
- inner: EXCELLENT
EXTRA CONDITION COMMENTS:
- the vinyl has a cared for appearance although it has been played many times, it plays with mild crackle throughout, in some passages of play this can intensify, mild spindle marks can be seen under intense light, with some wear around the spindle hole
- the sleeve is absolutely superb for it's near 50 years, clean, the spine is strong in structure & clarity, practically faultless
- for me this is the only example I have ever seen & it has been well cared for with the one previous owner from new although it has been listened too frequently in it's history which does have a bearing on how it plays, however it could still be seen by many collectors as the ultimate upgrade
:
GRADING:MINT: Brand new, un-played and completely sealed in shrink-wrapped
NEAR MINT: Although previously owned, the vinyl itself looks new and un-played in appearance without surface marks or deterioration in sound quality.  It will not skip or jump.  The labels will be clean without spindle marks or any other damage
The sleeve and any extra items such as inserts or inners are in near to perfect condition
EXCELLENT: The vinyl will show one or two mild signs of having been used, such as a couple of very fine hairline surface marks or possibly a light scuff but there is very little lessening in sound quality.  It will not skip or jump.  The labels will be clean with no other damage; although there maybe the possibility of mild spindle marks under light inspection
The outer & inner sleeve will have no splits, sticker damage or writing, but may carry signs of light shelf rub and marking, sticker shadow or thin laminate removal, slight general edge scuffs, together with possibly the odd very mild crease or stubbed corner 
VERY GOOD: The vinyl has obviously been played a number of times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality despite having a number of light but noticeable hairline surface marks.  It will not skip or jump, however the vinyl may emit some light surface crackle or the occasional 'click' or 'pop'.  The labels will be 'EXCELLENT' as described above
Average wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without having any major defects such as edge splits, sticker damage or tears is permissible
PLEASE NOTE: I will not be selling any records in this shop that fall below the 'VERY GOOD' grading standard
