****************************************************************

This is a UK pressing with vinyl which is in superb condition and which appears to have rarely been played.

The disc has the following matrix numbers:

Side 1: SHVL 804 A-11

Side 2: SHVL 804 B-10

It is believed that this dates from 1980.

Detailed description

Vinyl: The vinyl is in superb condition and appears to have only been rarely played. In normal light the playing surfaces look virtually flawless and even under bright, direct light just a handful of wispy hairlines and sleeve-removal marks were visible, but there is absolutely nothing significant anywhere. I would visually grade the vinyl as Excellent Plus (Ex+) to Near Mint (NM).

Labels: No damage, writing, stickers etc, and only light spindle marking, suggesting that the record was rarely played.

Cover:  The cover is clean with no writing, seam-splits, tears etc, just some storage wear and signs of age, including wear to the edges, spine and corners and some minor creases, light marks etc.

Inner sleeve: Original EMI inner sleeve is date-coded 280 (February 1980). It is in Excellent condition, with no issues.

This copy does not have any posters or stickers.

Detracting features not covered above:  None. This is a superb example.

All photographs are of the actual item for sale. Please ask any questions before you bid or buy.

Where gradings are given these are based on the UK Record Collector grading system (see below) and are visual gradings only, unless the listing specifically states that it is a play-grading.

I use the UK RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING SYSTEM. This grading system differs from some other grading systems, in particular the Goldmine grading system. Please make sure that you are familiar with the UK record collector grading system before you bid.

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.

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.

Plus (+) or Minus (-) are added where items fall between gradings. I only ever use one plus or minus.
