CHRIS McGREGOR'S BROTHERHOOD OF BREATH - Chris McGregor's Brotherhood of Breath

Original UK LP

Neon (NE 2)

 Rare uk original on the highly collectable Neon label in decent collectable condition. A classic of its genre that rarely turns up for sale in anything approaching this condition.

The matt gatefold sleeve is in a strong vg+ condition. No tears, splits, writing or bends. There is some rubbing to edges/corners and slight ringwear on the rear. Being a matt finish sleeve and in black very few have survived in near mint condition. Many would grade this higher, but we try to be conservative when grading.

Comes with the correct black polylined inner sleeve which is in superb condition, certainly doesn't look to have been removed and replaced into the sleeve many times.

Both labels are in excellent condition. There is only slight spindle wear and i can't see any spider marks on either side.

The record is in a solid excellent condition with some of its original sheen. I can make out some ultra light paper scuffs on both sides when viewed under a very bright light source. Certainly no long hairlines or feelable marks of any kind. Still plays well.

Please note that we grade all records the same whether they are 40 years old or 1 year old.

Our grading is strict so as not to disappoint, we have been selling on ebay since 1998 & know how important this is. Grading of records is done with the record angled under two 50 Watt halogen bulbs. Pictures are of actual item up for auction.

All records are packed securely & most importantly packed outside of the picture sleeve (in a plain inner sleeve) so as to avoid seam splits during shipping.

Near Mint
Almost mint. Very minor paper scuffs and very little else can appear on the vinyl. This will most likely have occurred during packaging, or removing the record from the inner sleeve but obviously it had been handled with extreme care. Any flaw should be very hard to see. The cover should look as close to perfect with only minor signs of wear and/or age. Minor impressions to the cover (due to the outer edge of the vinyl resting inside) may be acceptable, however the artwork should be as close to perfect as can be.

Excellent
An excellent condition for vinyl will allow minor scuffs (Scuffs lay on top of the grooves) which are visible but only slightly.The wear should be minimal.The play should be close to perfect as well. Some impression to the cover (minor outer ring wear) but no ink wear. Some slight creases to the corners, but not wrinkled and obtrusive to the eye. The corners can show a little white, meaning slight wear. No seam splits or writing on the cover or taped repairs.

VG++
As Excellent but with a larger number of scuffs, maybe a couple of hairlines (very light scratch that can't be felt) or a couple of marks on both sides. Sound quality should still be very close to that of an Excellent record with only minor crackle in quiet segments only, NO scratches that can be felt. Cover as Excellent but there may be a small seam split on the cover, or a very minimal amount of writing like a name written in small writing or a number. A VG++ record should be an acceptable record to live with if you aren't looking to pay the price of a Near Mint copy.
