DESCRIPTION:  Rainbow- Long Live Rock N Roll. 1ST UK pressing with A2/B2 matrix, insert and gatefold sleeve. Postage cost includes tracking and a box mailer. LABEL AND CATALOGUE NUMBER. Polydor DELUXE POLD 5002. YEAR OF RELEASE: 1978. COUNTRY OF RELEASE:  UK: CONDITION (VINYL/COVER): VG+/VG+. Vinyl is clean with a nice sheen.  Tilted to light has some light brushing lines preventing better visual grade but having no effect on playback. Played passages of this this morning on my budget deck. Sits perfectly flat on the turntable.  Plays EX.  Music is clean, loud and clear with a trace of background sound between some tracks.  Cover is very near to EX. It has only  light edge wear,  light corner wear and light creasing.  Insert is clean with light wear and no foxing. Very clean labels- just check out the photos.  No writing, rips, stickers or sticker tears.   PLEASE CHECK OUT MY OTHER METAL/CLASSIC/HARD ROCK LISTINGS IN MY EBAY SHOP. Grading system: I use UK’s “Record Collector” Grading system. I DO PLAY EVERY RECORD I LIST NOW even though its often just quite briefly. Please bear in mind you may get a touch of background sound, even if its just on intros and between the tracks on 30-40 year old vinyl records!! :: MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface mark or deterioration in the 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 in the 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 has noticably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding,scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration etc. I will at times use a + or - to indicate when a record falls between the grades. I REMOVE ALL VINYL FROM SLEEVES PRIOR TO POSTING. RECORDS ARE SENT IN BEST QUALITY MAILERS WITH 2 STIFFENERS. I ALWAYS COMBINE POSTAGE BUT COST DEPENDS ENTIRELY ON WEIGHT OF PACKAGE. EACH EXTRA SINGLE DISC LP IS ROUGHLY £1.75 TO EUROPE, £2.75 TO THE AMERICAS AND £3.25 TO THE REST OF THE WORLD. ALL ITEMS (OR COMBINATIONOF ITEMS) SELLING FOR OVER £20 MUST BE SENT SIGNED FOR OR AIRSURE TO COMPLY WITH PAYPAL POLICIES- ASK ME FOR FURTHER DETAILS. IF YOU HAVE 0 FEEDBACK PLEASE EMAIL ME PRIOR TO BIDDING OR I WILL CANCEL YOUR BID. EMAIL ME FIRST AND THERE SHOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM! CHEERS- STAN.
