THE CURE - A FOREST / ANOTHER JOURNEY BY TRAIN 12" 

Scarce Original 1980 UK FICTION Release 

Format: Vinyl 12" (45 rpm)

Record Label: Fiction

Catalogue No: FICSX 10

Year of Release: 1980

Country: UK

Condition of Vinyl: I would only visually graded the vinyl as Good + Condition due to multiple fine surface marks that are visible under a strong light but cannot be felt to the touch. 

The record has clearly been well played but I have listened to both sides of the 12" and despite the visual appearance the audio quality is really good. There is some occasional light surface noise but no loud pops, clicks or jumps that I detected on my turntable.

Condition of Labels: The Labels are both clean & in Great Condition.

Condition of Sleeve: The Sleeve is in Good + Condition with shelf / ring wear to the sleeve & edges & some scuffs to the rear (as seen in photos).

I BASE MY GRADINGS ON THE RARE RECORD GUIDE GRADING SYSTEM WHICH IS AS FOLLOWS:

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
