Description
I am not a record dealer, just someone who has accumulated a large collection of vinyl in the 1970s and to a certain extent in the 1980s, and now has (sadly) to let my old 'friends' go to new homes (age and inevitable decay- me, not the records).
I am not an expert on the grading of records, but I do know that 'Mint' and 'near-Mint' are, for all practical purposes, meaningless. Who buys a record and then never plays it? I adhere to the 'Record Collector' grading system as best I can within the latitude of interpretation. I bought these records because I loved the music and I played them, so some wear and tear is inevitable, I make no apologies for that. I will be as honest as I can about 'surface noise' and crackle/pop, but my advice is that if you own a £1000 deck and a £500 stylus, then only buy true 'mint' pressings or you will live in a constant state of disappointment.
This appears to be a first pressing. I cannot find any evidence to the contrary.
The gatefold Cover is in excellent condition with only a little light wear at the edges EX
Labels are clean and undamaged. EX
The vinyl on visual inspection: Side 1 No obvious flaws VG+/EX

The sound on playback .
Side 1- light crackle, occ. pop/click. Scratch lasting ~1 minute on last track VG/VG+
Side 2- llight crackle but not as noticeable as side 1 VG+
If you own a 'high-spec' system, then this will not be for you.
