THE SUPERB FULLY LAMINATED PICTURE SLEEVE, WITH TWO REAR FLIP-BACKS, IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH SOME VERY SLIGHT WEAR. THERE IS ONE CREASE/WRINKLE IN THE LAMINATION ON THE FRONT. THE BOTTOM LEFT HAND CORNER HAS A MINOR CREASE. A SMALL PIECE OF THE LAMINATE IS FLAKING AT THE OPENING. THERE IS A INK-STAMP 'D1' ON THE BACK - SEE PHOTO. THERE ARE NO SPLITS AND NO TEARS. THE OPENING IS NOT FEATHERED. THE EDGES AND CORNERS ARE ALL NICE AND STRAIGHT AND THE TEXT ON THE NARROW SPINE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THE VINYL

VISUALLY THE GLEAMING BLACK VINYL APPEARS TO BE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION AND UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT I CAN ONLY SEE A FEW TINY HAIRLINE MARKS. I HAVE CAREFULLY LISTENED TO BOTH SIDES OF THIS BRILLIANT ALBUM AND I CAN CONFIRM THAT THE SOUND QUALITY IS SUPERB THROUGHOUT.

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.
