Angela Morley, Malcolm Williamson, Michael Hordern, Mike Batt ‎– Original Soundtrack from ‘Watership Down’ (1978)

Condition (refer also to notes at bottom):
VINYL: G. A superbly clean surface. Some light scuffs showing no signs of wear or marks except for two long curved hairline scuffs on side 1. Played just pre-listing and sound clarity is good overall. Light static and surface noise at run-ins and mild crackling throughout, especially noticeable during quieter cues and fadeouts. Vocals on Bright Eyes sound great despite interference but only good overall.
OUTER SLEEVE/COVER: F-G. Colours are unfaded and clean. Obvious cluster of rips on front through 'n' of 'Down' in title. Disc outline and other creases/dents and scuffs across front, mainly in top half. Corners and edges scuffed and worn. Spine is scuffed and split along most edges. Aperture shows light nicks. Reverse shows more creases in from edges and disc outline but in great shape relative to front defects.
INNER SLEEVE: G-VG. White paper with curved corners. Minor crimping/folds/creases and a few marks. Intact.

ITEM CONDITION - items are graded according to Record Collector definitions - see below:

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. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

EXCELLENT: 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: 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 torn, stained and / or defaced.

POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler.
