STRAVINSKY : THE FIRE BIRD SOLTI DECCA SXL 2017 WBG ED1 'Original Recording By'
Vinyl has quite a few scuffs (see pics below) and grades visually VG-. In spite of these flaws the vinyl has a lovely gloss sheen and plays a strong EX. I listened to the album with headphones and the scuffs make little difference.
Blueback sleeve is EX- with some wear to the corners.
Happy bidding!

       
  Please note I use UK Record Collector grading system for all albums with the addition of the accepted Near Mint category:
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.

NEAR MINT:  The record  appears new but is known to have been played because the label has light spindle marks or because it has come from a previous owner
and is assumed to have been played by them
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, 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 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. 
I try to be as accurate as possible, however, we are all human so if there are any problems please let me know.
