Description
Original UK release, not one of the fakes that are currently being sold.
The matrix numbers stamped in the spaces around the labels are 588171 A//1 and 588171 B//1. None of the numbers are crossed out which denotes a true first pressing.
The cover is graded as Very Good- condition. It has lots of creases near the opening and creases at the corners, but no tears or splits etc.
The labels are graded as Very Good+ condition. Lots of spindle trails if you angle it to the light, but no writing or damage.
The vinyl is visually graded as Very Good condition for side one and Very Good- condition for side two. There are lots of light marks on both sides but nothing bad or deep.
The vinyl is play graded as Very Good condition for side one and Very Good- condition for side two. Both sides are a bit crackly and have some clicks but there are no jumps and nothing bad.
Unless stated or shown in the pictures there is no writing, stickers etc on the labels or covers.
All records which have bad scratches or marks have been played before offering for sale. Records where the play grading is shown as 'N/A' are generally considered to look like they will play well, but I haven't had the time to listen to them. However, they may have some crackle and clicks etc.
Please realise that these are old records which were played frequently when they were new. They are all used and most of them are more than forty years old so do not bid hoping that they are mint. They are NOT. These are second-hand, used records. They are not museum pieces.
Please read the description and do not bid if you are after a copy that is better than the one I have described. All records are offered in good faith. I will describe/grade them to the best of my ability but please don't bid if you are the type of person who will try and get a discount because of some small issue I have overlooked. Thank you.
Please email me any questions, which I will be happy to answer.
The gradings in my listings are based on the UK Record Collector grading system as shown below:
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, discolouration, 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.
For records which appear to fall between the accepted grades, + and - are added to the grading.
