Please note that his auction is for the Massively Rare UK 1st Press Laminated Mono E.J. Day Flipback Sleeve which is in Very Good+++ condition at the very least!!! Although I have also included the vinyl it is in Fair/Poor only!!!! I'll describe both but give you the good news first. The E.J Day Laminated Flipback Mono Sleeve is in super condition and easily worth £50 alone, if just for an upgrade!!!! Most of these sleeves are in VERY poor condition nowadays, and when they do turn up, they are completely trashed, this one is not!!!! It has with NO Tears, NO Scribbles and NO unwanted writing of any kind!!! It is completely blemish free!!! There are NO laminate cracks, and just a little just a little edge wear (about 2 or so cm along the top and bottom). There are some light laminate creases sleeve, but nothing much, this sleeve grades as a strong Very Good+++ at the very least!!! Now for the record...The Classic Blue/Black Columbia Centre Labels are in very good condition, with side 1 showing some light wear and wearing a circular sticker although there is NO Peeling, NO Scribbles and NO unwanted writing of any kind on them. Now we get to the Vinyl condition, and Oh Dear...I'm afraid it must grade as fair/poor! Side 2 plays ok with some pops and hissing, but NO skipping. Side 1 however is a write off, due to a serious deep scratch which my needle did not like at all! Now I usually wouldn't bother listing this record at all, but due to its extreme rarity, (mint copies easily sell for £500 upwards) I figured somebody must be dying for an Original Mono Laminated Sleeve upgrade, and this could be it!!

Good Luck! The UK Record Collector Grading System NAME GRADE INFORMATION Mint M Vinyl has just left the vinyl pressing machine and does not have any manufacturing flaws. It has never been handled and never played. Unless you work at the record plant, there is no such thing as mint! Record sleeves just left the pressing machine that made the sleeve. It has never been handled and a record has not been placed inside it which would deform it. Unless you work at the record plant, there is no such thing as mint! Near Mint NM Vinyl is virtually perfect. At most, perhaps a light scuff appears on the record. It should play without any noise or skips of any kind whatsoever. Record sleeve should look close to perfect with only minor signs of wear. The artwork should have no marks of any kind and there should be no "ring wear" (that is, the outline of the record inside should not show through the sleeve). Excellent EX or VG++ Vinyl should play with no skips of any kind. It should sound better than it looks. Often "Excellent" or "VG++" is a conservative version of "Near Mint." Perhaps some very minor surface scuffs, but again no effect on sound quality. Record sleeve might have some minor "ring wear" but otherwise the artwork should be unaffected. There should be no "ink wear" to the artwork. That is areas where the ink has worn down to the paper underneath. Perhaps some minor creases in the corners but no splits in the seams. Very Good Plus VG+ Vinyl will show wear including surface scuffs and some light scratches. Often, minor scuffs will be caused by the inner sleeve rubbing against the vinyl. If held up to a bright light, you will often see many tiny lines on the vinyl. Perhaps a few minor clicks or pops can be heard, but no deep scratches. Record sleeve should be clean, but slightly more aged. Perhaps some very small writing on the sleeve. The corners may be slightly bent, but not broken. There may be wear to the seams but not tears or holes popping through. Very Good VG Vinyl doesn't necessarily look good, but still plays well. Surface noise will probably be present including pops and clicks. At good volume levels, the music should overpower any pops and clicks present. Flaws should only be heard between tracks or on low volume passages. Record sleeve will look warn and used. There may be seam splitting, but not complete separation of the sleeve panels from each other. There will be noticeable ring wear on the cover, but most of the cover should still be in good condition. Good VG-/G+/G Vinyl looks well played, dull, and possibly not well taken care of. However, the record should still play without skipping. It will have substantial surface noise, pops and clicks. Loss of various parts of the dynamic range will occur due to worn grooves. This grade depends a lot on the owner and the type of record. A rock record may still sound "good" at high volume whereas a slower styles of music will sound terrible. Record sleeve may have many problems including seam splits, writing, taped repairs. However some of the artwork will still be visible. There can't be large tears and gouges in the cover. Fair/Poor F/P Doesn't meet the lowest standards for "good". At this point, the vinyl is difficult to listen to. The only reason to keep it would be due to extreme rarity or to fill a good sleeve until a better copy of the vinyl comes along. Doesn't meet the lowest standards for "good". The sleeve is torn, bent, and shows a very high level of wear. Attempts to tape the sleeve have made it worse. The only reason to keep the sleeve would be due to extreme rarity or to protect a good copy of the vinyl until a better sleeve comes along.price rating
