Description
CHR 1003
This is the earliest UK issue, with the Island logo & radial text in white at the head of the labels.
The 12-page newspaper gatefold-style sleeve has a heavyweight card construction of the record pocket, unlike later issues using a lighter card stock (which also have the same labels & later labels). Consequently, there is a noticeable paper weight difference between the 2 sleeve versions. The Chrysalis imprint appears on page 12.
Later repress (2nd press) issues do not have the Island imprint on the labels; See: Issue without Island imprint labels (which are also a lighter weight vinyl).

Record grading:
All records / sleeves are described as accurately as possible.
Normally, I grade records under strong daylight.
Dust on vinyl / sleeves not have any bearing on grading, but usually most items will be delivered dust free.
Records are graded as follows:
Near mint / NM - A record that has never been played, or played minimally. No scratches or scuffs. The original dust jacket in pristine condition. The cardboard outer sleeve will have no signs of wear or damage.
Very good plus / VG+ - A record that has been played and carefully stored. May exhibit minor scuffs that will not impact the sound quality. No scratches. Picture sleeves and inner sleeves may have some slight wear or a slight seam split.
Very good / VG - A record that has been played and may have light scratches and / or scuffs, or other signs of use and wear. Picture sleeves and inner sleeves may have some wear or seam splits, may be marred by writing, tape or sticker residue.
