Purchased from new by myself in 1987 and has been part of my record collection since. Played very little at the time then stored, i would grade as Vg+/Vg+
Record has been cleaned with L'art du son and RCM. Fully play tested on high-end Rega system and this system is not forgiving in any way.

Good clear sounding audio, engaging with good dynamics and minimal background noise. Faint surface marks apparent under strong light, not affecting play. Labels very clean.
Matrix / Runout (Label Side A [Stamped]): DM 208579 A-2/10-87 C Matrix / Runout (Label Side B [Stamped]): DM 208579 B-1/10-87 II

Sleeve in VG+ condition, super gloss on picture sleeve. Minor edge creasing. Spine clear no splits, slight pinch. Has been stored in a protective sleeve for years. Comes with original printed lyric inner sleeve, light handling wear



I have graded in line with the record collector grading system with my own observations. If you have any specific questions, please do ask before bidding/purchase, we're always on hand to help.


Record Collector Grading System
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.
Excellent: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening of 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 noticeable 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 and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration 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 badly damaged or partly missing.
