Everyone has their own method of cleaning records so I will not clean before posting.
No pops no tics. Absolutely no major problems.
Labels: EX+ Minimal spindle wear, Otherwise very clean - see photos. Use the enlarging feature to see how good they are.
Impressive double gatefold that opens out to reveal a dead/injured soldier dressed in a red tunic lying beside a stream, flowing red from spilled blood whilst the band members rest under a tree watching the scene from across the river. A dramatic scene designed by Marcus Keef. Presumably inspired by Track 4 side 1 "Shipwrecked Soldier"
Listen out for the nod to Dylan " Ship with tattooed sails"
Sleeve: Foldout unlaminated. EX. Fully legible spine. Red text. All edges are strong and true with only minimal wear
at the corners. See close up photos for greater detail.
Foldout. Overall EX. A little loss towards the foot of the left hand foldout and on the rear of the sleeve. Nothing really.
Inner sleeve: Original black poly lined inner. A few creases. Absolutely nothing serious.

Grading is as follows based on collector magazine UK
MINT: Virtually unplayed. The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. Cover is pristine.
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.
V.G PLUS: The record will still be nice and shiny, but may have a few light marks, and will play well. Slight wear and tear on the cover.
V.G: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items.
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, etc.
FAIR: Fair. It is noticeable that the record has been played so much that the sound quality has deteriorated very noticeably. The cover and contents are showing signs of folding, scuffing of edges etc.
Further information. All records are separated from the covers and sent in a brand new polythene sleeve and packed in heavy duty cardboard.
