LP
12" -  33 rpm Vertigo  6360 009 with Swirl Vertigo Label & inner sleeve 
Made in England
        
  There is a small (about 1/8" - one eighth of an inch/ about 3 millimetres) pressing blister on Tracks 1 on both sides, in corresponding position. (It is at about 12-1 o'clock in scans 4 & 5 above). Otherwise, using the Record Collector Grading Guide (see below), I would say the record would have been in E+    

Cover -  Using the Record Collector Grading Guide (see below), I would say the cover is in E/E+ condition (A wonderfully convoluted gatefold cover design, opening out in unusual fashion) 

 NB - Shipping shown is to UK addresses - I am happy to ship overseas, but shipping will cost more - ask for shipping charges

Returnable if unhappy with item

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, discolouration, 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."   As well as the above grades,  is often used as well; this is really for a record that appears new but is known to have been played because the label has light spindle marks or because it has come from a previous owner and is assumed to have been played by them. For records which appear to fall between the accepted grades, + and - are also often added to the grading.
