Visual grading

I have sold many of these and yet I have never seen one that has been pressed with so many blue flecks!  Perhaps it was one of the very first manufactured.  It has been hardly played as there is only one spindle line visible on each side and under a bright light I can only detect a handful of faint hairlines.  'Mother Love' does have a very thin scratch type mark.

Play grading  

There is some crackle on the opening track but does decrease half way through.  The remainder of Side One plays with excellent clarity and only some light static here and there with a little more during 'Mother Love' but nothing intrusive.

Again there is a little crackle on the first few seconds of 'I Was Born To Love You' but after that the track plays with wonderful quality.  The same can be said can be said for 'Made In Heaven' which has light crackle on the intro and then has excellent audio with only the lightest of static thereafter.  The 'background' is a little more prevalent during 'Too Much Love Will Kill You' being a quieter track but there are no clicks or pops.  The remaining tracks play with stunning quality with only a little static on the final track.

Gatefold cover

This does have some wear the most obvious of which is on the bottom of the spine where there is a little damage and on the top edge of the back cover where is a 5cm split.  Aside from that it is very clean with only a little rubbing on the remaining edges and no writing or marks anywhere.  The opening edges are in great condition with no handling wear and the inside of the gatefold remains in superb shape.

Lyric inner

This is in superb condition and is like new, never seen better.

The labels

They are both in superlative condition with no marking/writing and hardly any spindle wear.

The posters

They are in superb shape with only a little age related marking on the back of the 'Brian' one.
