CONDITION:       STRICT  U.K. MAGAZINE  'RECORD COLLECTOR'  GRADING SYSTEM USED.  I aim to provide an accurate and honest appraisal of condition.  It’s in my best interests to do so.  I WANT YOU TO COME BACK.    All records are checked in good natural light and play tested IN FULL at a high volume on high-end audio equipment.    Used records are cleaned using a Moth vacuum record cleaning machine prior to play testing, unless condition deems unnecessary. 

Playing condition ranges from VG-  to  EX, but with the vast majority of the album playing around the VG+/EX- mark:- third disc fractionally better.    Occasional audible surface noise/crackle – mostly in between tracks.  Occasional background groove wear in places on a couple of tracks on the disc1.   Clearly noticeable very long scratch on side1. Fortunately this has little effect on play – consecutive pops/clicks only really audible in between tracks and on intros/fades.   Overall, NO loud distortion  NO jumps  NO sticking.

Visually, in good daylight, the vinyl is VG- for side1 and EX, if not better, for the other five sides.   Previously mentioned scratch on side1.   Few and light surface-only marks on the other sides. 

Labels are EX-/EX.    A number of spindle marks on first disc; the other two have far less.  All text perfectly readable.    NO writing.   NO stickers.

Box grades as EX/EX-.    Structurally sound.  Few and small patches of edge wear.  Corners still neat.  All spine text perfectly readable.   Inside still nice and neat.   Minus due to small stain spots/discolouration on front cover.   NO long rips/tears  NO writing  NO stickers. 

Inners graded as VG.  Usual creasing/crumpling – nothing severe.  Odd light stain spot/mark.   Disc2 inner has a 1cm seam split on bottom edge.  Disc3 inner has a 4” seam split on bottom edge. 

Record Collector Magazine Grading System  - VINYL

MINT The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint

EXCELLENT (EX) 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 (VG) The record has obviously been played many times but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratches. Normal wear and tear on the cover and extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable

GOOD (G) The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeable deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.

FAIR (F) 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 deface

POOR (P) 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 (B) The record is unplayable or might even be broken and is only of use as a collection filler
