Welcome to my shop...as ever, everything is graded/described correctly,conservatively, and honestly....please check my feedback and bid with the utmost confidence. I'll be continually listing a varied selection of vinyl throughout 2012. My gradings use + to ++++ as I believe the standard grading system of just, for example, EXCELLENT is far too wide and can be misleading....and MINT always means MINT (flawless sleeve & unplayed flawless vinyl) and I'm not afraid to use the term VERY GOOD (which ,incidentally, does not mean trashed !). No hype, just the relevant factual detail.

ORIGINAL FIRST PRESSING.

CRISP GATEFOLD SLEEVE.

VINYL PLAYED but not overplayed, and PLAYS VERY WELL.

CONDITION

SLEEVE

The E.J.Day Group gatefold sleeve is in VERY GOOD condition. A solid, crisp sleeve with only a few light creases round the edges, wear to the corners, wear to the rear bottom edge and only a few whiteing patches to the other edges, slight ring wear, and a few indentations and minor marks. There is no discolouration, no mustiness, no grubbiness, no folds, no tears, no sellotape, no stickers, no seam splits, no writing, no wear and no softening to excellent opening edges...only a few dings, and no wear to an excellent square spine. The inside of the gatefold with pics is excellent. The sleeve grades VERY GOOD++.

INNER SLEEVE

New replacement polylined inner sleeve.

VINYL

The record has been played (but not too much!)....has marks on TRACKS 1&2 SIDE 1 which sound but don't spoil the playback, and only a few largely inconsequential surface marks and scuffs, and only a few of the very lightest sleeve removal scuffs. The vinyl grades SIDE 1 VERY GOOD and SIDE 2 VERY GOOD++++ and plays with only very light background noise / clicks in parts, and with NO distortion, NO jumps, NO skips, NO sticks, NO pops.

LABELS

The textured labels grade near MINT , with quite a few but not too many!) visible spindle marks on each side, with no wear to near perfect spindle holes, and no unwanted wear or writing.

If needed (or requested by purchaser), the vinyl is cleaned using the correct mix of distilled water and fluid on an OKKI NOKKI Record Cleaning Machine.

This record has been cleaned, and has been given a new polylined inner sleeve.
