X-Ray Spex, Germ Free Adolescents, Vinyl Album, 1978. EMI Records, Cat No, INS 3023, Run Out Matrix, A-1 & B-1. I would class the vinyl as in good condition, numerous light marks visible when record is tilted & viewed under good light, mainly what I would call hairlines. Plays fine with no sticks/jumps, some light background noise between tracks. Outer sleeve is good, starting to come unglued top left edge, a bit of edge wear, spine is fine, inner lyric sleeve is EX.


I will combine postage to keep costs as low as possible, any questions, please ask, thanks.


Overseas buyers I prefer to post using international signed for, however I can post using standard air mail ( I cannot be held responsible if package goes missing using standard air mail) should you wish, please ask for prices.


I grade my records by the following.


EX- Totally unmarked, plays with no sticks/jumps & very little background noise.  


VG- Some light surface marks visible, plays with no sticks/jumps, some background noise can be heard, mainly between tracks or on some quieter parts, nothing major.


GD- More pronounced surface marks visible, plays with no sticks/jumps, but surface noise may be more evident with occasional pops/rotation clicks etc.


Fair- Surface marks highly visible, plays with no sticks/jumps, but background noise will consist of pops/ rotation clicks, background static/crackle which in some cases may get in the way of the music. 


Poor- Record will have at least one jump/skip. 


I will always test play & give a brief description of how each record plays.
