****************************************************************

This is a 1979 UK pressing. It is not a modern reissue. This has a textured Garrod and Lofthouse cover and the vinyl is translucent red. (Please note that the vinyl looks black in almost all circumstances, except when a very bright light source is put behind it. When this happens a slight translucence can be seen. The close up photographs of the vinyl, which look like red light reflecting on the surface are actually light showing THROUGH the vinyl).

This has the following matrix information:

FACT 10 INSIDE 1A A PORKY PRIME CUT STEP

FACT 10 OUTSIDE 1B THIS IS THE WAY A PORKY PRIME CUT

Description
Disc: The vinyl has retained its original sheen with very few marks: just some fine hairlines and sleeve-removal lines when viewed under bright, direct light. I would grade it as Excellent (Ex).

Labels: No tears, stickers, writing etc, just some light spindle marking suggesting that the record was rarely played.

Sleeve: The sleeve has normal signs of age or use, including wear to the edges and corners and some minor creases, slight waviness etc. There is a small neat repair to the top seam, but this has been done well and isn't particularly noticeable (see photographs).

Inner sleeve: One small seam split, age related discolouration, a few marks. It is also a bit wavy/rippled as if it has been damp at some point.

Detracting features not covered above:  None.

All photographs are of the actual item for sale. Please ask any questions before you bid or buy.

Where gradings are given these are based on the UK Record Collector grading system (see below) and are visual gradings only, unless the listing specifically states that it is a play-grading.

I use the UK RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING SYSTEM. This grading system differs from some other grading systems, in particular the Goldmine grading system. Please make sure that you are familiar with the UK record collector grading system before you bid.

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 the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

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.

Very Good: 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: 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, discoloration, etc.

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.

Poor: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

Bad: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.

Plus (+) or Minus (-) are added where items fall between gradings. I only ever use one plus or minus.
