Sleeves: EX. One or two areas of spine wear where records have come through. Generally excellent.

Box: EX - some shelf wear. Colour is still crisp. One or two light water marks which hardly show. Some fine spotting inside box - see image. Nice item. Owned since new.

Weighs over 1kilo with appropriate packaging, hence higher postage cost than my usual album shipping rates.

RECORD COLLECTORS GRADING SYSTEM:

MINT: THE RECORD ITSELF IS IN BRAND NEW CONDITION WITH NO SURFACE MARKS OR DETERIORATION IN SOUND QUALITY. THE COVER AND EXTRA ITEMS SUCH AS LYRIC SHEET , BOOKLET OR POSTER ARE IN PERFECT CONDITION. RECORDS ADVERTISED AS SEALED OR UNPLAYED SHOULD BE MINT.

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, SPINE SPLITS, DISCOLOURATION ETC.

FAIR: THE RECORD IS JUST PLAYABLE, BUT HAS NOT BEEN CARED FOR PROPERLY AND DISPLAYS CONSIDERABLE NOISE, IT MAY EVEN JUMP. THE COVER AND CONTENTS WILL BE TORN, STAINED ETC.
