Item Details:
This is an original UK pressing of Sham 69 first LP titled 'That's Life' released in 1978 on the Polydor label.  It has A2 B1 matrix stamped and 'tone' etched in the deadwax.
Grading:
Vinyl - VG+ to NM The vinyl is in great shape and plays loud and clear throughout. There is the odd hairline but no lessening in sound with little surface noise and no skips/jumps. Hurry up harry!
Sleeve - VG to VG+ The front and back of the gatefold sleeve are excellent with no writing, ringwear or peeling. There is edgewear on the seams. Inside the gatefold there has been some ripping/tears where the inner sleeve has stuck the outer sleeve, hence the VG grade. See pics. 
Poster - VG+ Other than the fold lines from being folded into the sleeve for 40years the poster is in excellent condition. No rips or fading.

Grading Scale:

• Near Mint [NM or M-]: A nearly perfect record. Many dealers won't give a grade higher than this implying (perhaps correctly) that no record is ever truly perfect. The record shows no obvious sign of wear. A 45 rpm sleeve has no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling.
• An LP jacket has no creases, folds, seam splits or any other noticeable similar defect. No cut-out holes, either. And of course, the same is true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, and the like. Basically, Near Mint looks as if you just got it home from a new record store and removed the shrink wrap.

• Very Good Plus [VG+]: Shows some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show some slight signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK.
• The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but is should be barely noticeable. The center hole is not misshapen by repeated play. Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turn-up corners, or a slight seam-split. An LP jacket my have slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a discount. In general, if not for a couple of minor things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint. All but the most mint-crazy collectors will find a Very Good Plus record highly acceptable.

• Very Good [VG]: Many of the defects found in a VG+ record are more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise is evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during the song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as will light scratches deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound.
• Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them.
