Simple grading can be misleading, so please read the full description of condition which I hope will be helpful.
Condition: The record is housed in a front laminated single sleeve with flipbacks. It has a little rubbing to bottom edge, and some age-related discolouration to the unlaminated rear but is otherwise very clean and sound. The spine is strong and fully legible. The record comes complete with original EMI poly lined inner.
The vinyl looks good and bright with no obvious marks apart from the customary odd paper scrape, and clean labels with no obvious spindle marks. It does however play with some background crackle, particularly in quieter passages.
(As with many records of this age, it might benefit from cleaning on professional grade equipment.)
A decent if not spectacular copy overall. I am not a dealer, but would guess that this might be graded as VG+ / VG (sleeve/vinyl per RC guidelines)
Please note: I try to test-play a significant part of each record before listing, but do not have time to play fully in all cases. As a record collector myself, I have had disappointing purchases, so if you do encounter a problem, please do not hesitate to contact me and I will do all I can to rectify the situation.
Postage: I do not set out to profit from P&P charges - price quoted below is my best estimate of exact Royal Mail charge plus 40p to cover the cost of a brand new custom cardboard mailer and stiffener in order to give your purchase extra protection in transit. Packages are only covered for approx £40 compensation, so you may wish to purchase additional insurance (which can be expensive for overseas mail). I am happy to combine shipping to minimize expense for multiple purchases (though a 2kg total limit per package will be observed for overseas shipping). ?
Postage cost (445 gms packed) - UK £2.64, USA & Far East £6.80, Europe £4.00
