The vinyl retains excellent sheen - on close inspection under a bright light there are lots of visible marks, mainly hairlines and sleeve removal marks and even a few more noticeable marks but actually very little to affect sound quality. Playback is graded  EXCELLENT PLUS - its a great copy - bright and full and clear audio and a pleasure to listen to...
The CAPITOL PICTURE record labels are graded EXCELLENT MINUS with minor visible spindle wear. 
The quality card PICTURE sleeve is graded EXCELLENT MINUS - couple of corner dings, slight discolouration and a couple of marks to the white back and the odd small crease but no splits and the spine remains strong and 100% legible. This copy comes with the ORIGINAL CURVED CORNER PICTURE INNER SLEEVE - VERY GOOD PLUS with one corner bend, couple of marks and 12-15cm split to bottom.



SHIPPING All Lps are packed carefully and shipped using purpose made new corrugated card RECORD MAILERS ( not thin card, single sleeve 'envelopes' etc ) and we take care to make sure that the vinyl and inner sleeve are removed from the outer sleeve to prevent seam splits during transit.
