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

This is a FULLY PLAY-GRADED original 1st UK pressing in mono. At the time of listing this is the only one for sale on ebay.

Disc: The vinyl  has retained its original high sheen with only a handful of marks visible.  I have played the whole album from start to finish and it sounds great with very little to report. There are a couple of tiny clicks in the run-in to side one, and some soft clicks in the final track and run-out of the side, but apart from this side one play-grades as an EASY Excellent, so overall I am grading it as Excellent Minus (Ex-). Side two is similar with most of it sounding a SAFE Excellent (Ex) but there are about six clicks in 'Rubber Band' and a handful of solitary clicks in a couple of the silent grooves so overall I'm play-grading side two also as Excellent Minus (Ex-).

Labels: No stickers or writing etc, just some spindle marking.

Sleeve and inner sleeve: Very nice examples with no seam splits, stickers, writing etc, just some mild signs of age and use, but nothing significant anywhere.

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.
