Frank Zappa
Hot rats vinyl LP First UK pressing with tricolour stemboat reprise labels
Cat. no. RSLP 6356
 A-1/B-1 matrices

Vinyl is in nice condition. Very clean, bright and glossy with a few sleeve removal marks visible only under very strong light and a couple of very light hairlines but no deep scratches. A really nice example. EX Labels are really clean with no writing, tears or stickers. I can't detect any spindle marks on either side. EX+ Audio is really nice. Crisp and clear with no sticks, jumps or loud pops. Very little surface noise between tracks and during the quieter sections and no distortion. A great listen. A strong EX
Gatefold Sleeve has no writing, tears or other damage. Spine still solid and readable but with light wear. Opening edge has minimal feathering. Light edge and shelf wear. VG+

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.

Excellent: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening of 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, discolouration 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 badly damaged or partly missing.

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.
