THE SLEEVE

THE FRONT 'CLARIFOIL' LAMINATEDPICTURE SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THERE IS SOME LIGHT TANNING & STAINING TO THE REAR AND THERE IS SOME SOME SLIGHT WEAR. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF MINOR WRINKLES IN THE LAMINATE. ALL OF THE EDGES ARE IN TACT AND RAZOR SHARP. A SUPERB LOOKING EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE.

THE INNER SLEEVE

THE POLY-LINED INNER SLEEVE, WITH 'FFSS' LOGOS AND TEXT, IS IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION WITH JUST A COUPLE OF SMALL CREASES.

THE VINYL

VISUALLY THE HEAVY GLOSSY BLACK VINYL APPEARS TO BE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION AND UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT I CAN ONLY SEE A FEW TINY HAIRLINE MARKS. I HAVE CAREFULLY LISTENED TO BOTH SIDES OF THIS SUPERB RECORD AND CAN CONFIRM THAT THE SOUND QUALITY IS SUPERB. I NOTED 5 TINY CLICKS ON SIDE ONE BETWEEN BANDS TWO & THREE. THIS DID NOT DETRACT FROM MY ENJOYMENT BUT ON CLOSE INSPECTION I CAN SEE A TINY MARK. THE REST OF THE RECORD SOUNDS STUNNING.

THE LABELS

THE GROOVED BLACK & SILVER DECCA LABELS WITH THE WIDE SILVER BAND ARE BOTH IN NEAR MINT CONDITION WITH ONLY ONE OR TWO TINY SPINDLE MARKS PER LABEL.

ALL RECORDS ARE REMOVED FROM ANY PICTURE SLEEVE TO PREVENT KNIFING. I DO NOT USE 'ENVELOPE STYLE' MAILERS. INSTEAD I USE SPECIAL MAILERS DESIGNED TO PROTECT YOUR RECORDS AND ENSURE SAFE ARRIVAL.

I HAVE DESCRIBED THIS RECORD STRICTLY ACCORDING TO RECORD COLLECTOR MAGAZINE GRADING SYSTEMS SO THERE WILL BE NO NASTY SURPRISES FOR THE WINNING BIDDER. THIS RECORD HAS BEEN CAREFULLY VISUALLY & FULLY PLAY-GRADED.

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.
