THE KINKS - Arthur or the decline and fall of the British EmpireOriginal UK LP
Pye (NSPL 18317)
Scarce original UK pressing on the blue and black Pye label, housed in a thin and laminated gatefold sleeve. This is an outstanding copy, still in superb collectable condition and would be so tough to upgrade, especially the vinyl
The thin laminated gatefold sleeve is in excellent condition. There are no tears, no splits, no bends and no writing. There is a small nick and some rubbing to the bottom of the fragile spine and some laminate lift by the spine. A solid example of a very fragile sleeve.
The pull out insert is in near mint condition with nothing to report. The album has obviously been removed without the use of the insert.
The labels are in near mint condition with no writing and just the slightest touch of spindle wear on one side. There are just a few of the lightest spider marks on each side.
The record is in near mint condition with nothing to report. Looks to have hardly ever been on a turntable.
Please note that we grade all records the same way, whether they're 40 years old or one year old.

Our grading is strict so as not to disappoint, we have been selling on ebay since 1998 & know how important this is. Grading of records is done with the record angled under a 100 Watt bulb. Scans are of actual item up for auction. All records are packed securely & most importantly packed outside of the picture sleeve (in a plain inner sleeve) so as to avoid seam splits during shipping.
Near Mint
Almost mint. Very minor paper scuffs and very little else can appear on the vinyl. This will most likely have occurred during packaging, or removing the record from the inner sleeve but obviously it had been handled with extreme care. Any flaw should be very hard to see. The cover should look as close to perfect with only minor signs of wear and/or age. Minor impressions to the cover (due to the outer edge of the vinyl resting inside) may be acceptable, however the artwork should be as close to perfect as can be.
Excellent
An excellent condition for vinyl will allow minor scuffs (Scuffs lay on top of the grooves) which are visible but only slightly.The wear should be minimal.The play should be close to perfect as well. Some impression to the cover (minor outer ring wear) but no ink wear. Some slight creases to the corners, but not wrinkled and obtrusive to the eye. The corners can show a little white, meaning slight wear. No seam splits or writing on the cover or taped repairs.
VG++
As Excellent but with a larger number of scuffs, maybe a couple of hairlines (very light scratch that can't be felt) or a couple of marks on both sides. Sound quality should still be very close to that of an Excellent record with only minor crackle in quiet segments only, NO scratches that can be felt. Cover as Excellent but there may be a small seam split on the cover, or a very minimal amount of writing like a name written in small writing or a number. A VG++ record should be an acceptable record to live with if you aren't looking to pay the price of a Near Mint copy.
