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

A Hard Day's Night vinyl lp. Vinyl is Excellent-. Very glossy with only the slightest of surface marks. Audio isn't quite as good as it looks although it's still decent. Some light background crackle.

Garrod & Lofthouse Front Laminated Flip Back Sleeve is Very Good+. Some creasing on the edges and some dark marks on the non-laminated rear. A few pen marks on the laminated flip back top rear. The inner sleeve is a polylined Emitex inner which is Good (frayed opening; two side spine splits of 10cm and 6.5cm). A new paper inner sleeve will be added.

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.
