Labels :

Classic UK 1st Press Atlantic labels Both sides are FANTASTIC with NO real signs of age, NO writing, NO stickers, and NO tears whatsoever Just has a small amount of ultra light spindle marks which suggests that this hasn t had much play over the years at all AWESOME for a 43 year old record Both must grade overall at least as Very Good

Record : Visual -

Spectacular Original 1973 UK 1st Press Vinyl Nice bright, clean and shiny as if it was just pressed Fantastic jet black mirror like surfaces, it looks GREAT with NO really nasty scratches OR nasty deep scuffs whatsoever The only blemishes are just some light wispy sleeve traces, a few mild hairlines and age marks, and just a small amount of cosmetic non-sounding and unfeelable scuffs only visible in direct angled light mostly caused from where it has sat or been removed from it s cover over the years Of course, none of these ULTRA light blemishes really interfere with play AT ALL thanks to the deeply pressed quality BRILLIANT for a record of this age and rarity Must grade overall at least as Very Good minus graded STRICTLY to the UK RRPG standards, not overgraded AT ALL Customer satisfaction is of 100 importance to me

Record : Audio -

Thankfully, it plays BRILLIANTLY with fantastic stereo separation and clarity It really sounds incredible with NO hisses, hops, distortion, sticks OR skips Only like pretty much ALL records has just a mere touch of the lightest crackle here and there, only a few light ticks here and there on occasions, and just a hint of low level ultra light bluesman s fag atmospheric static in few and far between places such as on some of the quieter sections like the run in grooves and between some tracks e.t.c, but it TRULY doesn t overshadow the music AT ALL I d even argue it gives it added soul And that s truly about it The vast, vast majority of the music is ultra clear and sounds ABSOLUTELY AWESOME with that bass, depth, warmth and clarity you can only get from 1st Press UK vinyl An outstanding listen Absolutely ESSENTIAL ASTONISHING for a record of this age and rarity Must grade overall audibly at the least as Very Good graded STRICTLY to the UK RRPG standards, not trashed or overgraded AT ALL Customer satisfaction is of 100 importance to me

Sleeve :

Original 1973 UK 1st Press unlaminated gatefold sleeve complete with original lyric inner FANTASTIC totally unsplit condition and IMPOSSIBLY RARE UK OBI Sash 100 clean and intact in one piece for once with NO splits OR graffiti whatsoever Only has a fold crease to the centre from where it was folded at purchase and inserted into the sleeve - other than that, unbelievably unaged with NO staining or tears whatsoever Barely ANY have survived, so to find one untorn and intact is quite remarkable - without question one of the very best I ve ever seen IMPOSSIBLE to find this sleeve in anything approaching a good condition - most are spent, torn and worn due to age and the lifestyles of the buyers of this particular LP This one is NOT, and looks FANTASTIC, especially considering the nature of these fragile sleeves NO tears, NO dulling or discolouration PHENOMENAL for this age-prone sleeve , NO bad marks AT ALL, and still ULTRA strong and solid after all these years This sleeve only has a TINY amount of ULTRA light signs of ageing such as a minuscule amount of ultra light edge creases NO half moons and a mere hint of a record imprint, possibly the very slightest hints of ink rubbing to the very rarest of places virtually zero and only the vaguest ghost of 6-15 written in pencil to the top left of the front barely visible, may rub away with care , a touch of denting to one or two of the four corners which basically ALL vintage sleeves have, and POSSIBLY just to be sure one or two other minor signs of age here and there, though nothing that really stands out to note at all And that s truly about it I tend to bring it down by listing the most minor negatives I can possibly find, but this is an OUTSTANDING sleeve, and a TRUE rarity to find one as utterly incredible as this - most have been virtually destroyed or are just about being held together, but not this one This is EASILY one of the very best I ve ever seen It remains ultra strong, solid, unsplit and unspoilt, and even the spine remains ultra strong, solid, unsplit and 100 unworn Must grade overall at the very least as Excellent minus graded STRICTLY to the UK RRPG standards, not trashed or overgraded AT ALL Customer satisfaction is of 100 importance to me

I ve realized that most countries have their own unique grading system. I base mine strictly on the UK RRPG grading system occasionally with a or a - to indicate the higher and lower ends of the grade, though I only use these if i m having real trouble deciding , so please check their chart for further clarity if you are unsure of what my grades mean. As a general rule, a mint record will be 100 perfect, an excellent record will be in fantastic clean condition with the occasional mild mark and minor use from the years, and a very good record will have noticeable, yet light visual markings and obvious signs of age and use, but will still remain clean with relatively light wear and will play fantastically well with plenty of life remaining in it. I very rarely offer records below the very good region unless they are of an EXCEPTIONAL rarity and playing quality...I hope this helps
