Description
JETHRO TULL - THIS WAS - 1st UK MONO PRESS ON THE PINK ISLAND LABEL WITH ORANGE AND BLACK EYE LOGO.
FIRSTLY THIS IS A HEAVYWEIGHT 1960'S VINYL, 164 g WHICH WAS NOT WELL FINISHED WHEN PRESSED SO STILL HAS A SHARP UNCUT RIM AND ROUNDED RUN IN. I MENTION THIS BECAUSE IN MY OPINION THE STYLUS SHOULD BE PLACED MANUALLY ON THE RECORD AS CLOSE TO THE INTRO AS POSSIBLE TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE STYLUS OR CARTRIDGE. HAVING SAID THAT THE AUDIO QUALITY IS CLOSE TO EXCELLENT, A LITTLE EARLY SURFACE NOISE ONLY. THE VINYL APPEARS VERY GOOD WITH LIGHT MARKS, NOTHING DEEP. THE LABELS ARE EXCELLENT. THE FULLY LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE IS VERY GOOD WITH A WELL REPAIRED TEAR ON THE BACK FLAP. NOT A MINT COPY BUT A VERY NICE ALBUM TO LISTEN TO.
CAT.NO. 1968 ISLAND ILP 985
MATRIX: A/B
I TRY TO GRADE MY RECORDS AS LITTLE ACCURATELY AS POSSIBLE, I LISTEN TO EVERY RECORD I LIST AND GRADE ACCORDING TO THE PLAYBACK ON MY SYSTEM. I ALSO TRANSFER THE AUDIO TO MY COMPUTER VIA THE HEADPHONE SOCKET FOR REFERENCE PURPOSES, A CD OF THE AUDIO FILE WILL BE SENT WITH THE ALBUM. I DO NOT SELL RECORDS WHICH JUMP OR STICK ON MY EQUIPMENT OR ARE VISIBLY WARPED. I USE THE FOLLOWING GRADING SYSTEM-
RECORD COLLECTORS GRADING SYSTEM:
MINT: THE RECORD ITSELF IS IN BRAND NEW CONDITION WITH NO SURFACE MARKS OR DETERIORATION IN SOUND QUALITY. THE COVER AND ANY EXTRA ITEMS, ARE IN PERFECT CONDITION.
EXCELLENT: THE RECORD SHOWS SOME SIGNS OF HAVING BEEN PLAYED BUT THERE IS VERY LITTLE LESSENING IN SOUND QUALITY. THE COVER AND PACKAGING MAY 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 AN OCCASIONAL LIGHT SCRATCH. NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ON THE COVER AND CONTENTS 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, SCUFFED EDGES, SPINE SPLITS, DISCOLOURATION ETC.
