Artist: John Tavener
L.P. Title: Celtic Requiem (Requiem For Jenny Jones)
Label: Apple Records (SAPCOR 20)
Country of manufacture: United Kingdom
Year of issue: 1971
Condition of vinyl: N/M (beautiful clean copy with only one EXTREMELY light 'paper' mark on Side A which does NOT effect play. Both sides of the vinyl retain the deep 'factory fresh' gloss with NO other markings what so ever. No scratches, hairline marks, scuffs, etc - even held under extreme bright light the vinyl shows no signs of wear. You'd be hard pushed to find better condition vinyl!!!)
Condition of labels: M (no writing, no spindle wear or any other type of unwanted markings).
Condition of sleeve: EX- (gatefold sleeve has a couple of areas of light shelf wear - see scan. This is not uncommon for an unlaminated sleeve and unless you're lucky enough to come across a copy that has been completely unmoved for the last thirty odd years you will probably see very similar signs of wear. There is also very light spots of wear around the seams and spine however, they are all crisp and square with only extremely light corner softening. The text along spine is clean and completely legible apart from one tiny blemish on the catalogue number where the 'C' in 'Sapcor' has worn away slightly. There is NO writing on sleeve at all. On the front there is a light finger-nail scratch which is noticable under bright light. Comes complete with original 'Apple' inlay which is EX- with only very mild lost of white - or 'browning' as some people call it - NO writing or any other unwanted marks. The inlay sheet is Mint - again, NO writing or markings and NO creasing).
Track listing: Requiem Aeternam / Dies Irae...Day Of Wrath / Requiescat In Pace / Coplas / Nomine Jesu
Addition comments: 100% GUARANTEED ORIGINAL U.K. 1ST PRESSING - NOT THE RE-ISSUE.

GRADING: All records are graded VISUALLY (unless noted otherwise) using the Record Collector Grading System with (+) or (-) to show a slightly higher or lower grade.
M (Mint) : 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 lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition.
EX (Excellent): 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.
VG (Very Good) : The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
G (Good) : The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.
F (Fair) : The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
