Description
AC/DC ?– Highway To Hell
Archival... One of the best you will ever see.
Alberts Productions Blue Label, Original Australian First Pressing, in immaculate condition
Like New, straight from the record shop.
The Vinyl looks and plays like new, the sleeve looks like new.
Audio playback is Mint, whisper quiet deadwax and background, no snaps crackle or pops, No skips, clicks ticks or jumps - no writing or any other unwanted defects, this issue is spotlessly clean, with superb Blue Alberts labels.
Impossibly rare in this condition.These, and most other Vinyl records, were not factory sealed in Australia (some record shops did seal them at the shop, but very rarely) - so technically this is Mint, but as it is unsealed, I will grade as NM to be consistent, but this is as good as it can get.
Label: Albert Productions ?– APLP.040, Albert Productions ?– APLP-040 Format: Vinyl, LP, Album

A few words about condition.
Grade &
score out of 100
GRADING
Mint is a Rigid Band - The next Four Grades are all Narrow Bands, that slightly widen as the condition gradually deteriorates - Good is still Good, but there is a rapid widening of the Grade Bands, as the condition deteriorates over the last Four grades.
MINT
100
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.
Only graded on records that are sealed or clearly unplayed.
NEAR MINT
97 to 99
EXCELLENT
90 to 96

This is an above average used record, that has been well looked after.
GOOD
56 to 68
The record has been played so much that the sound quality has deteriorated, but the record will still play through, and it will not be a completely unpleasant listening experience, even at the bottom of this grade (56).
The cover and contents may suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.
FAIR
41 to 55
The record is still playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even stick, skip or jump.. This is starting to be an unpleasant listening experience at the top of the grade (55) and will not be a pleasant listening experience at all by the end of it (41).
The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
POOR
25 to 40
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
0 - 24
The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
The Sleeve is non existent (0) or what is left, is only just recognisable.
