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

This is an original pressing bought in the UK at, or around, the time of first release. It is not a modern reissue.

Description
Disc: Judging by the (lack of) spindle marks on the labels I would say that this record has hardly ever been played. The A side has no significant marks, although there are some visible marks on the B side which cause some clicks and crackle mainly near the beginning of the track. The A side plays without any significant audio issues and I would play-grade the A side as Excellent (Ex). Much of the B side would also grade as Excellent, but some clicks and crackle especially near the start of the track mean that I am play-grading the B side overall as Very Good (VG).

Labels: No tears, stickers, writing etc, and minimal or no spindle marking suggesting that the record was hardly ever played.

Sleeve: The RCA sleeve has no seam splits or major issues, just some normal signs of age and use.

Detracting features not covered above:  None. This is a very nice example which looks great and sounds fine.

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.
