The front laminated “patents pending” flip back sleeve is in very good+ condition. Some corner wear.
Edges are intact and relatively clean as is the spine. The lettering is clear and legible on the spine. See photos.
The record is in very good+ condition. There is some surface scuffing and a couple of light scratches. This causes a few seconds of clicking on Michelle, last track side 1. Side 2 has some mild crackle in between some tracks, nothing that reduces the listening pleasure. No skips or jumps.
The yellow and black Parlophone labels have some light spindle wear, embossed “KT” tax code near spindle hole, “Gramophone Co” text at the rim, “Sold in the UK” text above spindle hole.
The all important matrix numbers on the run off area of the first Mono pressing record are:
Side 1: XEX 579-1
Side 2: XEX 580-1
The “Use Emitex” original poly inner sleeve is in clean intact condition.

Grading:
MINT: 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: 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: 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 of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.
FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler.
