Matrices XEX 579-4 and XEX 580-4
KT tax code on side 1

Vinyl is in really great condition. Very clean, bright and still very glossy with just a few faint sleeve removal scuffs and a few light hairlines visible under strong light. There is one feelable scratch on side 2 across track 1 but otherwise this is a great example. Side 1 EX, Side 2 VG+
Labels are in a lovely clean condition with no writing, tears or stickers. A few spindle marks on either side but not over played. EX Sleeve is also in nice condition. Spine still solid and readable. Rear flipbacks still clean and white. Laminate still glossy but with a laminate crease to the top right. No tears or splits but the initials I.M are written on the back. Otherwise a great example. VG+
Audio is very nice as expected. Plays through crisp and clear with no sticks or jumps. Very quiet between tracks and no distortion. There are a few clicks during track 1 on side 2 caused by the aforementioned scratch otherwise this is an Excellent listen
Original 'use emitex' Inner is included and is in great condition but has a small seam split to the bottom edge and minor signs of handling. EX


Overall a great copy of this early pressing VG+/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.
