I Clean copy of The First Tramline record not a mint copy but a clean playing copy with only very light signs of playing and light use please see
my listing for information.

Great Blues Record Rock

Cover
Please see scan also, the cover is Laminted to both sides like most of the Island records from the late 60's its a single format layout front as shown in my scan
rear having a picure of the band members along with Track listings and Island Address info.  Looking clean showing some very light creasing corners have a
few small rubs and the Edge oddly didn't have its Laminted Cover Right to the opening Edge so there is 0.5 CM of Front and back without the the Gossy Covering,
as such on the back Middle there is 3CM Patch thats worn a little so its lost the printing but small and not very bad. Spine showing the Band and Details as it
should Rear has very light Lamination Lift along bottom of spine edge Common on most Island records I good sleeve but not quite Ex as such I call VG/VG+

Disc
The Vinyl Looks very Glossy like most Island its very Heavy Vinyl  its clear to see its been played but with some care taken over the years I will list Each Sides to give
the information.

Lables are Clean with Just hint of Wear around the Spindle Holes,

Side One looks the best having very litle in the way of marking Just some very light almost Feather like Scuffs or very light hairlines these are not Scratches and do not affect playing
as such I suppect these might of been from the sleeve as most sleeve where paper. VG+

Side Two This again is very glossy with a few light scuffs but also two clear to see Heavy Hairlines One going over first two track and then again a second mark acrossing at
Second Place over the last three tracks, These are not affecting that much I can hear a few light pop's only at the end of Fourth Track but still sounding very clean.  VG+

Playing
I have played both side and apart from two small marks that most would not seen at the start of Side two very small nicks that make a few pop's before the music starts
and the above noted pop's at the End of Track Four its playing very well and is very close to playing the same as most other ex copies. Sound is Clean with some light Crackles
in a few low area and odd pop's as noted above its quite a good playing copy really as shown just listed a grade down mainly due to Side Two Hairlines.



If you want to ask about anything please feel free.


My Record Grading System (Based On UK Record Collector Guide)

I Try and play all my items before Listing Please Check my own Details Record/playback If
You want to Ask Please Feel Free to do so Always Happy to Talk about Records.
 
I always give Clear Information on all items such as the Sleeves and Records,
Along with Extra items like Inners or Posters etc.


PLEASE NOTE I DON”T USE “MINT” MY HIGHEST GRADE IS NEAR MINT OR M-

(M) Rarely used unless Item is still un-open new. Mainly for new or Re-issue Records

(M-) OR NEAR MINT (A Fantastic Collector Copy)
Very Clean Item with little signs of use, looking almost as new both sides clean with No Scratches
or Surface marks there might be odd Paper marks. Should any copy fail to meet this grade I Prefer to list
down a grade but I always provide sufficient information.

(Ex) (Collector Copy)
 The Record has clearly been Played shows some signs of enjoyment, Strong Copy Retaining Full Crisp sound.
Might be odd surface Line or Few Very Minor hairline marks or a few Scuffs. Playback would Still Be Ace with
no Playback Issues.

(EX-) OR (VG+) (Good Keeper Copy)
This Grade means that the copy may have slightly more signs of use but would always have Good Crisp sound.
It might have extra paper marks or Few Hairlines or even an odd Scratch this would not be Audible unless said
and how the Scratches affects the Record would clearly be listed.

(VG) (KEEPER COPY)
The Item has clearly been played many times but Despite Visual Marks Like Hair lines or Scratches and Some
Surface marks. The Sound Still Retains Good playback, if there is a scratch that Sounds I clearly indicate
where it occurs and how it affects the track playing time.

When I use a Grade less than VG it would normally be due to a record being very rare or a sleeve that I feel
does not fit with VG due to Repairs or damage mostly records under VG are Only Fit for the Bin. But if you
are unsure just ask.
