Vinyl

The Vinyl is in very good condition showing some surface marks. I played it through when I purchased it last year and it played through with no jumps or sticky passages. It should still play through, but I am currently without a player. These records are rare, particularly in this condition. I grade records to DISCOGS ratings as below.

Very Good (VG)

Vinyl
Generally worth 25 percent of Near Mint value. Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them. Goldmine price guides with more than one price will list Very Good as the lowest price. This, not the Near Mint price, should be your guide when determining how much a record is worth, as that is the price a dealer will normally pay you for a Near Mint record.

Sleeve

The Garrod and Lofthouse sleeve is in very good condition. To the rear over flaps are clean and solid and is very clean, apart from some neat writing in Biro to the top left (see picture). The front again is clean. The edges are very good, the corners show wear although not excessive and the opening has the usual wear for a played and loved record. The inner sleeve is original but appears to have been left in the sun and has a split for 120mm on one edge.
