WHAT A BAND - WHAT A DEBUT!!

THIS SENSATIONAL RECORD IS HOUSED IN AN ALMOST UNBELIEVABLE SLEEVE - I HAVE NEVER SEEN A BETTER EXAMPLE!! THIS BEAUTIFUL SLEEVE LOOKS AS IF IT CAME OUT THE SHOP YESTERDAY!! I DOUBT YOU WILL EVER FIND A NICER EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE! TRULY IN ARCHIVE CONDITION.

THE SLEEVE

THE ORIGINAL FRONT LAMINATED, PICTURE SLEEVE IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. AS MENTIONED ABOVE THIS SLEEVE IS IN AMAZING CONDITION!! IT REALLY IS PRISTINE. THERE IS NO WEAR, THERE ARE NO CREASES, THERE ARE NO SCUFFS!! THE EDGES AND CORNERS ARE ALL FAULTLESS. THE “PINCHED” SPINE IS IMMACULATE!! 100% LEGIBLE.

THE VINYL

THE VINYL IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. ON SIDE ONE THERE ARE SOME LIGHT SCUFF MARKS WHICH DO NOT AFFECT PLAY. ON SIDE TWO THERE ARE MORE PRONOUNCED SCUFF MARKS AND I DID DETECT 2 POPS BETWEEN TRACKS 3 & 4. THERE IS ALSO SOME SLIGHT INTERFERENCE BETWEEN TRACKS 4 & 5. OVERALL THE SOUND QUALITY IS EXCELLENT.

THE LABELS

THE GROOVED, RED & SILVER LABELS, WITH UN-BOXED DECCA LOGOS, ARE BOTH IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, WITH A FEW LIGHT SPINDLE MARKS. THERE IS A SMALL SPACEMAN TRANSFER ON THE SIDE ONE LABEL.

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.
