UK 1st press on Reaction.Mono copy.Has the Dratleaf,Apple,Windfall credits.
Vinyl is Good+ visually on Side 1 but playback is a lot better.First track on Side 1 is poppy for the first 40secs or so.The rest of the side plays well,the odd pop,mainly between tracks,nothing that distracts from the music.Side 2 is VGC visually,nothing feelable.Playback is loud and clear.
Laminated sleeve,made by Ernest J Day & Co,is VGC,corner and edgewear,laminate creases,has been clear taped around the edges in the past.An attempt at removing it has lifted a thin piece of the front design off.

I make no profit from postage,currently Royal Mail charge £3.90 to send up to 3 vinyls,factor in my packaging at about 50p and I actually take a small loss.
EU customers,the cost is £12.00,please wait for the corrected invoice.
ALL RECORDS ARE SENT IN BOXES WITH STIFFENERS AND/OR BUBBLE WRAP TO PROTECT.
I ALWAYS COMBINE POSTAGE,PLEASE WAIT FOR INVOICE IF BUYING MULTIPLE ITEMS.
ALL RECORDS ARE SENT TRACKED AND SIGNED FOR.THIS PROTECTS BOTH SELLER AND BUYER FROM POSTAL SCAMS.I WILL NOT SEND ITEMS ANY OTHER WAY.
I USE THE UK RECORD COLLECTOR GRADINGS GUIDE,AS A GUIDE ONLY! ALL FLAWS WILL BE HONESTLY DESCRIBED.
I DO NOT USE THE USA GOLDMINE GRADINGS!
Grading System: In order to assist everyone who buys and sells rare discs, Record Collector magazine has originated a set of standards for the condition of second-hand records, I have added a (+) or (-) to my gradings where applicable.
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, discoloration, 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.
