‎– T. N. T. Original 1976 New Zealand issue, 45rpm 7" Vinyl Record

The vinyl record is in superb condition.
Excellent labels.
The vinyl surfaces are Near Mint. Mint audio, not a peep from it, even the run-in / run-out deadwax is whisper quiet - superb dynamic audio, it plays like new.
The company sleeve is a 1976 large EMI Australian issue, so likely not original. It is in VG+ condition.
This appears to be a Promo copy, with the promo sticker missing, but the marking on the side One label (where the NZ promo sticker was), is quite clear. The positioning - and most importantly, the size of the sticker mark on the Side One label, is the exact dimensions of the promo stickers used by EMI in New Zealand in 1976. I am quite certain that the sticker mark is from a NZ promo / sample sticker.
An ultra rare Albert Productions, New Zealand 7" vinyl record, in magnificent condition.

This is an above average used record, that has been well looked after.




GOOD
56 to 68
The record has been played so much that the sound quality has deteriorated, but the record will still play through, and it will not be a completely unpleasant listening experience, even at the bottom of this grade (56).
The cover and contents may suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc. 




FAIR
41 to 55
The record is still playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even stick, skip or jump.. This is starting to be an unpleasant listening experience at the top of the grade (55) and will not be a pleasant listening experience at all by the end of it (41).
The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced. 
 
POOR
25 to 40
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
0 - 24
The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
The Sleeve is non existent (0) or what is left, is only just recognisable.
