Leslie Bricusse / Albert Finney / Various – Scrooge (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) LP (1970)

Condition (refer also to notes at bottom):
VINYL: EX. Wonderfully clean on visual inspection. No marks, scuffs or hairlines on either side. Played just pre-listing and sound clarity is fantastic throughout. Run-ins have very mild static but all cues sound superb. Very mild static between some cues but plays with no skipping, jumping or sticking. An enjoyable listen to this seasonal soundtrack gem. Could be hard to find a better example.
OUTER SLEEVE/COVER: VG. Colours clear and unfaded on matt gatefold. Corners, edges have mild scuffing. Spine has some creases but no splits. Aperture has a few dents and mild wear. Dark scuffs at top and bottom of front from disc outline. Residue from sticker in top right. Dark disc outline on back. Inner gate generally clear with just some dark scuffs along top and bottom edges. A nice sleeve overall.
INNER SLEEVE: G+. White sleeve with curved corners. Lots of creasing and a few mild stains. Some tiny rips and folds on flipovers. Light crinkling. Clean and intact.
INSERT: NM. Black and white insert sheet clean and unmarked with no creases, rips or stains.

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.
