Please read the main description. This is the first pressing you have been searching for. Don t miss it this time.
Cover is in EXcellent condition with very light ageing and little shelf wear. See the pictures for extra detail including a very small tear in the laminate on the front cover between the two parts of the orange lapel.
The original inner sleeve is in EXcellent condition with just very light ageing.
The vinyl looks EXcellent with some minor marks/scratches but nothing that looks serious. There are no marks that can be felt. I have posted a very close up picture of a mark that is visible but cannot be felt. It is very light and this one looks the worst.
I can only visually
grade the vinyl as I no longer have suitable equipment to check the playing
quality.

I grade as per the RECORD COLLECTOR S GUIDE Sleeve / Disc
Record Collector Magazine s Grading Guide:
MINT:
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
advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
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.
VERY
GOOD: 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:
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.
FAIR:
The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly
and displays considerable surface noise it may even jump. The cover and
contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.
POOR:
The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise,
etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler.
