The records are contained within white paper inner sleeves - one with a centre cut-out.with centre cut-outs.

I have attempted to award an honest grading from the categories listed below. If anything, I have marked items somewhat over harshly to avoid any possible disappointment. 

Record :  EXCELLENT.  Spindle marks betray many plays but there is hardly any other visable evidence of this on the vinyl.  The centre labels have a matt finish rather than the later gloss.    

Sleeve :   FAIR ++. The spine and two bottom edges have had at some time sellotape protective edging - this is now removed leaving a residual line of surface discolouration.  The bottom edges have some shelf wear with some surface and colour loss to the corner edging.  The top two edges have some chips and wear along the length. The front cover has a scuff and some surface loss to the top r/h side (visable in picture). There are the usual creases to the l/h side to the spine edging with two heavier creases on the spine itself with small surface loss. The top and bottom of the spine are bumped and have some surface loss.The centre spread 44 page insert has become detached from the stapling and has been re-attached to the centre with sellotape. Otherwise all is complete!  This cover has clearly seen a bit of service but just about makes a 'collectable' status within the category.

Vinyl albums from my collection will all appear with a £0.99 start price - so keep watching!

All albums will be securely packed within stiff card for safe onward transit.

Please ask if you have any questions about this item.

I have given a Record / Sleeve / Inserts grading listing below and have matched the album for sale above as closely and honestly  as possible with these categories.  Any additional info not easily contained within these categories is highlighted as part of the grading mark awarded in the 'condition' description of the item.                

RECORD GRADING :

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.

GOOD : The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches.
