Condition - Very Good to EX - Excellent
I'm no expert but I have based this on the Record Collector Magazine's Grading Guide (see below).
Generally the vinyl is in excellent condition and plays really well. Really clean and bright (I haven't cleaned it, just stayed clean!) The only mark of note is a light scratch on side 2 which I have tried to show in photo 10 - mentioning as I want to be completely accurate. To my untrained eye the rest looks virtually unmarked.
Sleeve is original matt gatefold, printed by ERNEST J.Day & Co. Ltd.
No rips or repairs, although edges, corners and spine are showing their age. Not been written or drawn on.
Inner is clean and tidy, main image of Nick Drake in excellent condition.
Labels - are in really excellent condition. Looking at the spindle holes it looks like it's hardly been played.
Please remember it's old!
So I hope this goes to a good home!
update - I have added an international postage option!
Record Collector Magazine's Grading Guide:
"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, discolouration, etc.
