This is an Audiophile historical recording especially with Hi-End users in mind for reference audition.  This is the sought-after reference recording.  Needless to say the sound-stage and imagery are excellent with this record.  

May I stress that most countries have their own unique grading system. It appears to me that most Far East buyers are extremely critical and demanding in the condition of the records. As a result, I would strictly base my records on the UK RRPG grading system which is an universal accepted grading system for all records.  

We all want to have a prefect copy of the record which has no marks, no tics, no tear, no warp, no air bubble.......and so.  However, most used records are of certain age and they have been listened to and played with.  It is inevitable that you will see records with superficial marks, occasional tics and imperfect sleeve.  Even brand new records I have bought would have scratch, tics and creased sleeves.  This is the fun/pain with vinyl world and you need to accept these factors and facts.  If you want a clinically clean sound I suggest you should buy a CD instead.

It is therefore, unless I would provide more details if it is not shown on the system, you should be aware that all records I am selling will have characteristics as I explain above. If you do need more information please feel free to ask before committing biding as I have decided that there will be no return policy in the dispute of vinyl condition unless the item is damaged by post and insurance cost paid for.  This policy is strictly applied so please be aware.

Record Collector's Grading System 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. Excellent: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening of 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 badly damaged or partly missing. 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.
