CONDITION (VINYL/SLEEVE): G/VG.  Vinyl is clean with a decent sheen, some surface lines and a lot of hairlines and brushing lines.  Played all of this tonight on my budget deck. Plays through without skips or sticks. Sits perfectly flat on the turntable. Generally plays loud with ticks throughout, repetitive during "Drive My Car". Cover is in clean condition, a decent VG.  It is firm and square and has light edge wear (near moderate to opening edge), moderate corner wear and only light creasing.  Good shape retained to fully legible spine. Undamaged flip-backs and pretty clean rear of sleeve with only light discoloration and a little biro to centre of rear opening edge.  Emitex inner is near EX, clean with only light wear, light yellowing, fully attached lining and no splits. Clean labels- check out the photos. No writing, rips, stickers or sticker tears.

  GRADING SYSTEM: I use UK’s “Record Collector” Grading system. MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface mark or deterioration in the 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 in the 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 has noticably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding,scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration etc. I will at times use a + or - to indicate when a record falls between the grades.
