Description
I'll be listing some great stuff over the next couple of weeks so keep an eye out. I'm mad about music so everything listed has been played all the way through (at least once!). I do try and describe every record in as much detail as relevantly possible and will not ignore/overlook flaws in order to hike up the price! My top grade is Excellent ++++ and this is for a basically almost perfect record (rest assured anything I grade at Excellent or above would probably be graded as MINT by a lot of other sellers....in fact when unsure I'll always grade down!)...records in this sort of condition do not come along that often, so I'm surprised to see so many graded as Mint or Near Mint (!!!????) which are mainly completely misleading, telling buyers what they want to hear....buying vinyl on ebay is turning into a minefield! Even with new vinyl, as soon as you drag the vinyl out of it's sleeve those annoying hairline scratches appear and sometimes worse and even the packaging has wear/flaws. Anyway, I do pride myself in being as honest and strict as possible and think if I was buying this record what would I want to know.

Condition
Sleeve
The Howards Printers gatefold sleeve is in great condition with shelfwear to the bottom edges, very slight wear to the top edges, slight corner wear, very slight ringwear rubbing impression and the top and bottom of the sleeve front and back, two very small and hardly noticeable sticker removal marks on the front face....and that's about it! There is no writing, no stickers and no wear to the opening edges. The inside of the gatefold is in excellent condition with slight patches of discolouration. The spine is perfectly square and readable with a couple of very small slight patches of wear and only wear to the corners mentioned earlier. Overall I grade the sleeve as Very Good+++ (If not better) (graded properly)
Vinyl
The records play all the way through without skips,jumps,hiss,pops, with little or no background noise and only the very occassional click. There are a couple of light surface marks and only a few hairline marks/paper scuffs when viewed at an angle under a bright light....none of which detract the listening pleasure as the music is truly superb. Overall I grade the vinyl as Excellent (if not better)(graded properly)
Labels
The labels are in Excellent+ condition with faint spindle marks.
