Rainbow, Rod, Jane And Freddy – The Rainbow Collection 2-LP (Children's TV Soundtrack) (1983)

Condition (refer also to notes at bottom):
VINYLS: G. Look unsoiled on visual inspection. Lots of scuffs and marks on each record but no deep scratches. Record 2 has fewer marks than record 1. Played just pre-listing and sound clarity is just good throughout. Run-ins have surface noise and crackling, moreso on record 1. Static and clicking in places and during quieter cues/fadeouts, but stereo vocals sound great. Plays with no skipping, jumping or sticking. An enjoyable listen despite the defects.
OUTER SLEEVE/COVER: F. Colours are unfaded. Edges, corners and spine worn and some split. Aperture dogeared. Some creases across front. Two round areas of residue where stickers once were. Back over has dents and hairline pen marks across left. Disc ring outline scuffing. A fair example.
INNER SLEEVES: VG. White sleeves with centre holes. Minor disc ring outline and creases but clean and intact. Decent example..

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.
