The Vinyl is in Very Good condition. Glossy Vinyl and great audio.Some light surface marks but plays as excellent. There is a small scratch at the end of Side 2 track 2 running into the start of track 3 which produces some clicks.

The embossed gatefold sleeve is in Good+ condition.Mostly VG. Clear spine text. Graded as Good+ as there is a stain mark near the bottom edge on the front and back cover.

The die-cut card inner sleeve is in Excellent condition. No seam splits just a small scuff on the bottom edge.

The labels are clean and unmarked.

 POSTED WITHIN 24 HOURS FROM THE U.K.

ALL THE ALBUMS I SELL ARE VERY SECURELY PACKAGED WITH AT LEAST TWO STIFFENERS AND NEW PLASTIC SLEEVES. I ONLY USE THE HIGHEST GRADE PROFESSIONAL PACKAGING TO ENSURE THE RECORDS ARRIVE IN THE CONDITION I STATE IN MY LISTINGS.

I COMBINE POSTAGE AND PACKING COSTS FOR MUTIPLE SALES TO A MAXIMUM OF 5 SINGLE LPs (DOUBLES COUNT AS 2 LPs). THIS IS DUE TO THE SHARP INCREASE IN COSTS ONCE A PACKAGE GOES OVER 2KG IN WEIGHT.

Grading

 I grade all my records using the Record Collector's Grading System which is as follows:

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. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

Excellent - The record shows 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 - The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticable 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 ans mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits discoloration 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 torn, stained and/ or defaced.

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.
