Is the Eight Studio Album of the British band and the first number one album of Electric Light Orchestra. Did very well in the UK charts at 1 and US number 5. The album had 5 Singles they charted on top 10 Shine A Little Love UK at 6 US at 8, The Diary Of Horace Wimp UK at 8, US; Did not chart, Don't Bring Me Down UK at 3, US at 4, Confusion UK at 8, US at 37, and  Last Train To London UK at 8, US at 39. This is to date there most disco sound album they have ever released compared to the Bee Gees or other groups at the time. 
The album cover has some flaws as it is Near Mint- in a plastic sleeve has been preserve and stored away. The record has several scratch's some you can feel with your nail I don't see more so it's in Excellent condition on both sides. The deep scratches don't make the album skip plays all the way. The record comes in the original Jet Records sleeve the only flaw it has is at the top it has a small rip in the middle but the sleeve is still intact. The Record doesn't skip on both sides when you play from beginning to end it has some light static. The cover has no flaws almost glossy other then than that the label of the record and cover has no tape, writing, moisture damage as it is clean.Other then that looks decent even the label is cleaned, the scratches don't effect play just the static when you play it. Get it at a low bid while you can if your a collector, disco or Electric Light Orchestra fan. 
This is my record grading standards I use, if you don't agree let me know and I will change it or give me your opinion. If you don't like my grading system then do not bid or think before bidding. When you bid like I said bid with confidence. 
RECORD GRADING GUIDELINES FOR VINYL RECORDS:
Mint (M): Perfect. I will only use this for a brand new, sealed item. Near Mint (NM): A nearly perfect record. No obvious signs of wear, though there may be very slight imperfections inherent in the vinyl pressing. Excellent (EX): This is a listing that may not quite be NM, but is just too good to be listed as any variation of “VG”. Very Good Plus (VG+): Record shows some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Slight warps not affecting the sound are OK. Label may have some ring wear or discoloration. Very Good (VG): Record may have some light scratches and scuffs that may affect the sound especially in softer passages of the record, but will not overpower the music. There will be no skips in the record. Very Good Minus (VG-): Record will have scratches and scuffs that will affect the sound. The noise will not detract from enjoying the record. Very old records with significant wear will be listed under this classification. There will be no skips in the record.
FOR LP COVERS & 45 & EP SLEEVES:
Mint (M): Perfect. Again…a brand new, sealed item. Near Mint (NM): No creases, folds, seam splits, or cut-out holes. Only the slightest signs of handling may be visible. Excellent (EX): This is a listing that may not quite be NM, but is just too good to be listed as any variation of “VG”. Very Good Plus (VG+): Slight creases or signs of wear may be visible. May be marred by a cut-out hole or other indication that it was taken out-of-print. Very Good (VG): Creases, significant wear, and significant ring wear will be visible. No splits or tape. Very Good Minus (VG-): Creases, significant wear, and significant ring wear will be visible more so than on a VG cover. Splits or tape may be present. There may be some writing on the cover.
