THE SLEEVE

THE SUPERB MATT SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, WITH SOME VERY MINOR WEAR AND SOME SLIGHT TANNING TO THE WHITE AREAS. ALL THE EDGES AND CORNERS ARE NICE AND STRAIGHT WITH NO SCUFFING. THE “FLUTED” SPINE IS STILL SQUARE, WITH JUST TWO TINY BRUISES AND ALL THE TEXT IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THIS WILL LOOK GREAT ON YOUR RACK.

THE INNER SLEEVE

THE POLY-LINED BLUE ISLAND INNER SLEEVE, WITH PINK “i’ LOGOS, IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, WITH SOME LIGHT WEAR, MINOR DISCOLOURATION AND A FEW SMALL CREASES.

THE VINYL

VISUALLY THE HEAVY, GLOSSY BLACK VINYL APPEARS TO BE IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION WITH JUST A FEW TINY MARKS. I HAVE JUST FINISHED LISTENING TO THIS CLASSIC ALBUM AND I CAN CONFIRM THAT THE SOUND QUALITY IS SUPERB THROUGHOUT.

THE LABELS

THE ICONIC ISLAND LABELS, WITH PINK RIMS AND LARGE PALM TREE LOGOS, ARE BOTH IN NEAR MINT CONDITION WITH JUST ONE OR TWO TINY SPINDLE MARKS.

RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING SYSTEM

MINT (M) 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 (EX) 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 (VG) 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 (G) 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, DISCOLOURATION, ETC.
