The record is in excellent- condition with virtually all of the original sheen remaining on each side of the vinyl. Holding the record up to a bright light reveals some strictly surface only hairlines and a couple of barely noticeable, very light and small scuffs, brought about by insertion to and removal from the outer sleeve - no deep rooted scratches and nothing of any real significance. The record is totally flat with no warping at all and has been well looked after.
The labels are excellent with just a few of very light spindle marks adjacent to the centre hole. There is no unwanted writing or other surface blemishes.
The quality of the audio is again excellent - : there is some very light and strictly background crackle at the beginning of each track, but nothing to really diminish the overall outstanding audio quality, and just a single mild "pop" about half way through side 1. No skips or distortion - a great listen on both sides, with the Reggae Girls at their very peak. (What a great song "Rescue Me" is!)
Comes in plain brown, polythene lined outer sleeve.
A chance to own an elusive, late 60's reggae gem by two legendary bandson a highly collectable label.
A bit about myself - I have been collecting vinyl for over 45 years and have amassed a huge and diverse record collection. I am now selling a number of my cherished records in order to help fund my retirement and to create some much needed extra space. Take a look at my other ebay items - many of the records that I am selling are highly sought after by serious collectors. You should also be aware of my 100% feedback status and can feel rest assured that in the unlikely event that you are unhappy with your purchase for any reason then just contact me and I will do a full refund without quibble. Enjoy your purchase - Richard
My record grading adheres to the “Record Collector” guide, which has established a set of standards for the condition of second-hand records. These indicate the amount of wear and tear the disc, sleeve, and other items (such as lyric inserts) have been subject to and the condition that they are in at present. The seven standard condition categories, and descriptions of what each one means, are listed below:
Mint
The records 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 are torn, stained and/or defaced
Poor
The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents are badly damaged or partly missing.
Bad
The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler
