****************************************************************

This is an early pressing bought in the UK shortly after the time of first release. It is not a modern reissue. It has an outer-laminated gatefold cover with no printer credit and the following early matrix numbers:

6499268 1Y//1 v 420  13   15

6499268 2Y//2 v 420  05   11

6499269 1Y//1 v 420  11    8

6499269 2Y//2 v 420  13   

The cover and vinyl are in outstanding condition with minimal signs of use. There is a slight laminate crease at the bottom opening corner of the rear, but that's all. I would grade the cover as Excellent (Ex) or better. Both of the records appear to have hardly ever been played. Judging by the spindle marks I would estimate that these discs have been played no more than a couple of times, and there is a barely a mark to be seen on the vinyl except for a wispy surface mark on side two, but the other three sides all look virtually flawless. I would grade side two as Excellent Plus (Ex+) and the other three sides as a SAFE Near Mint (NM). 

Detracting features not covered above:  None.

Where gradings are given these are based on the UK Record Collector grading system (see below) and are visual gradings only, unless the listing specifically states that it is a play-grading.

I use the UK RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING SYSTEM. This grading system differs from some other grading systems, in particular the Goldmine grading system. Please make sure that you are familiar with the UK record collector grading system before you bid.

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, discoloration, 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.

Plus (+) or Minus (-) are added where items fall between gradings. I only ever use one plus or minus.
