This record has been cleaned on a Okki Nokki RCM and test played in full to grade. 

Help! vinyl lp. Vinyl is Very Good+. Some surface marks on both sides; there are two obvious ones on Side 1 which don't effect play. A few unsubstantial pops and some occasional light background crackle but this audio is at least VG+.

Garrod & Lofthouse Sleeve is Very Good+. A blemish by the opening. A few creases on the edges but nothing too noticeable. Some dark marks on the non-laminated rear. The inner sleeve is a white 'Made in Great Britain' paper inner.

Any questions; please contact me.

Grading system used:-



Mint (M) 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.


Near Mint (NM) The record looks brand new with no scuffing or any deterioration in sound quality and only the smallest hint that its ever been played. The cover and any additional extras are clean, crisp and with no wear whatsoever.


Excellent (EX) 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 (VG) 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 (G) 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 (F) The record is still just about 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 (P) The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
