Record : Visual -
Spectacular Original 1968 UK 1st Press Vinyls Nice bright, clean and shiny as if they were just pressed Fantastic jet black mirror like surfaces, they look 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 Both must grade overall at least as Very Good 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 mono blast and clarity It really sounds GREAT with NO hops, hisses, sticks, or skips Only like pretty much all records has low level surface noise in places such as on the run in grooves e.t.c, a few ticks here and there on rare occasions and just a touch of ULTRA mild and light bluesman s fag atmospheric static in few and far between places such as on some of the quieter sections, but it doesn t overshadow the music AT ALL I d even argue it gives it added soul A hugely enjoyable listen - The music is TRULY loud and clear with that bass, depth, warmth and clarity you can only get from UK 1st Press vinyl AWESOME for a record of this age and rarity Must grade overall audiably at 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 1st press top-loading numbered 0006593 laminated gatefold G L sleeve complete with both original black inners clean and brilliantly presentable with just some general minor ageing such as some splits to the centre of the bottom seams e.t.c , all 4 photos in truly great lightly aged shape zero pin homes whatsoever and original totally untorn and fold out poster AWESOME clean totally unhung condition with only one or two minor storage spots and just a little vague handling creases to show of it s five decades and even the IMPOSSIBLY RARE spacer absolutely outstanding - stunningly unaged and most likely never left the sleeve before An AWESOME set 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 GREAT, especially considering the nature of these fragile sleeves NO tears, NO splits, NO really bad marks AT ALL, and still ULTRA strong and solid after all these years Only has some usual signs of ageing such as some laminate creasing and a touch of a record imprint, an ever so slight manufacturing error to the top of the back where the laminate edge is slightly misaligned along the edge , some general minor storage scuffs and scrapes with a light scratchline above the number on the front and some general age dusting here and there with some general storage glazing to the laminate nothing overly drastic at all - ultra strong, solid and totally untorn after all these years , some denting/rounding to the four corners which basically ALL vintage LP s 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 focusing on the negatives, but this remains a GREAT super early sleeve and a TRUE rarity to find one as awesome as this - most have been virtually destroyed or are just about being held together, but not this one It remains ultra strong, solid, unsplit, unspoilt, and brilliantly presentable Must grade overall as Good 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
