Welcome to my listings.

Before you place a bid would you / could you take the time to please read my listing including the Terms & Conditions. You will find them below at the bottom of my listing and unless I have
mis-written them I believe they are quite clear. If they are not or you wish to clarify anything then please message/email me before bidding.

If you just want to skip to the details about this item, see the descriptive text below and check out the photos in the listing by enlarging and scrolling through.

All items are packed and dispatched in heavy duty LP mailers with cardboard reinforcements. I use heavy duty packaging tape. I always separate the LP from the sleeve and any inner sleeves that are part of the LP. This stops any damage to the item while in transit.

NOT PLAY GRADED: VISUAL GRADING ONLY
Please note that this is a used item and there is always isolated static, ticks, light pops that maybe or can be heard, even in the quieter places during the play of any vinyl. There will be elements of surface noise. More noise than others. Please remember that this is an original 44 year old vinyl. A habit of cleaning the vinyl with a carbon brush before each play will reduce any static. If possible you should have the LP professionally cleaned periodically.

I cannot guarantee exactly how this LP will sound on your turntable/system - Cartridge and stylus profile, tracking weight, Arm VTA, arm type all go to make a difference to the sound of an LP.

THE COVER: The gatefold cover has only very light wear to the top, bottom and spine. The spine has just light creasing. The covers surface shows very light storage scuffing. All 4 corners show minimal light wear and are free from age related rounding. The opening edge remains crisp and clean with no feathering otherwise there are no signs of any other forms of damage. So have graded the cover in EXCELLENT++ condition.

THE BACK COVER: The back cover reflects the front and reveals no damage at all. The surface shows very light storage scuffing. I have graded the back cover again in EXCELLENT++ condition.

THE INNER SLEEVE: The original company white inner has been graded in EXCELLENT condition with just very light creasing.

THE POSTERS: Both posters have been graded in EXCELLENT++ condition. With no signs of damage.

THE STICKERS: Both stickers have been graded in EXCELLENT++ condition. With no signs of damage.

THE VINYL: Both sides of this vinyl LP show a beautiful deep shine with no age related dulling. There are no deep scratches which can be felt, there are just wispy hairline marks only to both sides when held under a strong light.
I have graded the vinyl in EXCELLENT++ condition.
Side 1 in EXCELLENT++ condition. Side 2 in EXCELLENT++ condition.

This may not be a 1st Pressing but remains in awesome condition for a 44 year old record.

THE LABELS: The labels are in EXCELLENT++ condition and showing virtually no spindle marks or wear around the central spindle hole.
