Description

All my items have a full money-back guarantee - if it's not as described you can return it for a full refund. **************************************************************** This is an original 1st pressing bought in the UK (but actually pressed in France) at the time of first release. It is not a reissue. Only the first pressing had the original lyric sheet insert. There are a few marks on the lyric insert (see photos) and some wear to the cover, but there are no splits or anything bad. The vinyl has some surface marks and signs of play and use, but nothing that looks bad and I would visually grade side one around Very Good (VG) and side two around Very Good Plus (VG+). I have played both sides in full and they play through with no skips or jumps and no repetitive clicks, although the run-ins/outs, fades, silent grooves and intros were surprisingly noisy. Generally, when the music is loud the noise is unobtrusive and there are parts which would play-grade as Excellent, although in the quiet parts and the fades, silent grooves and intros the noise is very obvious. For this reason, I am play-grading this overall as Good Plus (G+), although almost all of the music play-grades higher than that and some parts sound Excellent (Ex). Detracting features not covered above: None. All photographs are of the actual item for sale . Please ask any questions before you bid or buy. Where gradings are given these are based on the UK Record Collector grading system (see below) and are visual gradings only, unless the listing specifically states that it is a play-grading. I use the UK RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING SYSTEM. This grading system differs from some other grading systems, in particular the Goldmine grading system. Please make sure that you are familiar with the UK record collector grading system before you bid. Mint: 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: 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, discoloration, 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 will be torn, stained and/or defaced. Poor: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing. Bad: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler. Plus (+) or Minus (-) are added where items fall between gradings. I only ever use one plus or minus.
