This original UK LP plays well with no jumps or skips or any real loss of sound quality. There is some slight crackle at the start of each side, but this subsides quite quickly. There is also a tiny indentation (about 2mm in diameter) on the vinyl within track 4 on side 1 and track 4 on side 2 - this has been caused by the LP being stored (correctly) upright but sandwiched in between other LP's, so that part of the zip on the sleeve has rested against the vinyl over the 42 years since this was bought. This tiny indentation causes several, very low-level, dull, thuds (you'll hardly notice them); the needle never leaves the LP, it is not deep but it is there. The rest of the LP plays beautifully, so overall we have graded this LP as very good. Visually, we also grade this LP as very good. There are no fingerprint marks, 5-6 hairline scratches each side, no surface marks, the aforementioned tiny indentation and no paper scuffs. The labels are clean and are free from writing, marks and stains with barely any spindle traces.

The original plain inner is in very good condition, it is intact with no marks, stains or writing, just light browning.

The original 'zip' cover is in very good condition. There is some minor scuffing to the corners and edges. The spine is clean, all words are completely readable but there is some slight scuffing at the very top and bottom of the spine (does not affect any of the words or catalogue number). The front and back cover has a little creasing and rubbing but nothing major at all. The zip is in perfect condition, it still zips up and down (it looks like it has never been touched). The belt flap above it has a crease and has lifted upwards very slightly in the bottom right corner (have a look at the attached picture of it). Overall, this cover is intact, no stains, marks or writing. Have a look at all the pictures for further details.

Overall this is in very good condition and is a great addition to anyone's collection.

All gradings are in accordance with the Record Collector's Grading System which is listed at the bottom of this write-up for reference.

Record Collector Magazine's Grading Guide: 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. 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.  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. 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. 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. The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing. The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler.
