PINK FLOYD - The Wall _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Early UK pressing in gatefold sleeve;
SHSP 4111-A2U / 4111-B4U / 4112-A6U / 4112-B9U matrix
Cat# SHDW 411 (SHSP 4111/4112)
Comes complete with both inner sleeves with lyrics ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The records are visually Excellent (disc two) and Very Good(+) (disc one)condition with disc one showing slightly more light hairlines/paper scuffs and signs of use; both have been play-graded in full and the sound reflects the visual gradings with a lovely sound throughout and clear audio, but with more light background and minimal clicks to disc one, but nothing at all that I found to be distracting. A very enjoyable listen.
The sleeve is in Excellent(-) condition (see photos); some light marks + signs of age, storage and handling, but nothing at all to worry about.
The inner sleeves are both in generally Excellent condition (see photos); slight signs of age, handling and storage.  
I use the UK Record Collector grading system Mint (M)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 marked 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 scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects is acceptableGood (G)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, etcFair (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 defaced.Poor (P)The record will not play properly due to scratched, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missingBad (B)The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-fillerCD?s and CASSETTESAs a general rule CD?s and Cassettes either play perfectly ? in which case they are in Mint condition ? or they don?t, in which case their value is minimal. Cassette tape is liable to deteriorate with age, even if it remains unplayed, so care should be taken when buying old tapes. CD?s are difficult to grade visually; they can look perfect but actually be faulty, while in other cases they may appear damaged but still play perfectly. Cassette and CD inlays and booklets should be graded in the same way as record covers and sleeves. In general, the plastic containers for cassettes and CDs can easily be replaces if they are broken or scratched, but card covers and digipaks are subject to the same wear as record sleeves.
