Collectable high quality 1976 Japan pressing with OBI strip. Runout Side 1 is P-8020W1  TO 3-A-3 3  〄 32 -  3?  479YYZ1 345

Runout Side 2 is P-8020W2  TO 2-B-9   3   〄

Vinyl Grade: +EX, super high gloss, a couple of very light marks on side 2 only. (I use +EX as the highest grade for a vintage record that has been played)

Sound Quality: +EX, fully play tested, super sound as expected from a Japan vintage pressing.   

Cover: excellent gatefold heavy cardboard cover, no edge wear or damage, front is flat, back gatefold side is not flat and has undulations as shown in edge photo, OBI strip has a little wear/crease on top, front of cover has very light wear and age spotting.      

Labels: clear, no spindle wear.  

Postage is $12.00 rather than $8.95 because with a heavy gatefold cover and heavy vinyl the weight will be over 500gm that increases the Aust Post cost to $12.00.

Records graded directly under very bright table light for the visual grade. Sound quality checked by playing to ensure that visual grade and sound quality are consistent. 

Mint M and Near Mint NM: Looks perfect as new. N and NM is only appropriate for new reissue records and not for vintage vinyl that has been played, regardless of how perfect it may look.

Excellent Plus +EX: Lovely gloss, no visible scratches, scuffs or marks. Has been played but has been handled well and still in great condition. (highest grade that I use for vintage vinyl)

Excellent EX: Lovely gloss, shows some slight signs of wear, including light trace/hairlines from the inner sleeve, light scuffs or very light marks that you would not expect to hear as surface noise. 

Very Good Plus +VG: Shows a few more very light marks than is allowable for EX so not quite EX. These signs of use would be expected to cause some light surface noise but not to detract from the music.

Very Good VG: Shows light scratches and marks and some that you would expect to cause surface noise, especially in soft passages, between tracks and during a song?s intro and ending but not so much as to overpower the music which can still be enjoyed.

Very Good Minus -VG: Shows significant wear and marks that you would expect to cause noticeable surface noise that detracts from the music.

Good G: In the record world, 'Good' is not good! From here on down (Fair, Poor), we're talking about beat-up records lacking much of the original gloss and with many scratches and marks that you would expect to cause very noticeable surface noise and clicks/pops that seriously detract from enjoyment of the music. 

Payment: thanks within 7 days of purchase.

Postage: is with Australia Post and a tracking number is added to the Ebay listing. Aust Post insurance is included for a parcel lost or damaged with compensation up to $100 plus a postage refund.
