Richard M. Sherman & Robert B. Sherman – Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (Original Motion Picture Cast Soundtrack LP) (1968)
Condition (refer also to notes at bottom): VINYL: NM. Wonderfully clean on visual inspection. No sign of any marks, scuffs or hairlines. Played just pre-listing and sound clarity is fantastic throughout. Run-ins are clear and all cues sound superb. Hardly played. Plays with no skipping, jumping or sticking. An enjoyable listen to this all-time classic children's film soundtrack vinyl release.
OUTER SLEEVE/COVER: EX. Colours are unfaded on gloss front. Spine, edges and corners in great shape with no defects. A few tiny nicks to aperture but no rips. Faint disc outline on front and a few creases in from spine and in top right. Matt sheen back cover has one or two more creases and minor aperture defect at bottom. No stains, marks or rips. Could be hard to find a better example.
INNER SLEEVE: EX. White paper sleeve. Very minor creasing but no marks, rips or stains. Clean and intact. A 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.
