THE BOX

THE BOX WITH FRONT LAMINATED ILLUSTRATION IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THERE IS JUST MINOR EDGE WEAR. THE GOLD TEXT ON THE SPINE IS STILL NICE AND CLEAR.

THE BOOKLET

THE 20-PAGE BOOKLET WITH NOTES, PHOTOS & ILLUSTRATIONS IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THERE IS SOME FOXING AND SIGNS OF HANDLING.

THE VINYL

THE THREE LPs are housed in their original poly-lined “STEREOPHONIC RECORD” INNER SLEEVES. VISUALLY SIX SIDES OF HEAVY GLOSSY VINYL ARE IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION AND I CAN ONLY SEE A FEW TINY LIGHT MARKS. I HAVE PLAYED THE RECORD AND CAN CONFIRM THAT THE SOUND QUALITY IS GENERALLY SUPERB THROUGHOUT, WITH JUST SOME VERY LIGHT & OCCASIONAL BACKGROUND INTERFERENCE.

THE LABELS

THE GROOVED RED & SILVER RCA LABELS WITH THE LARGE RCA “LIVING STEREO”, SILVER LOGOS ARE ALL IN NEAR MINT CONDITION WITH JUST ONE OR TWO TINY SPINDLE MARKS PER LABEL.

RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING SYSTEM

MINT (M) 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 (EX) 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 (VG) 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 (G) 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.
