Various – Play Away (Children's BBC TV Soundtrack Rock Funk LP (1973)
Good British 1st issue.
Featuring Brian Cant, Chloe Ashcroft, Lionel Morton and Toni Arthur.
Condition (refer also to notes at bottom):
VINYL: G. Looks unsoiled on visual inspection. Lots of scuffs, hairlines and marks on each side – but no deep scratches. Played just pre-listing and sound clarity is good throughout. Run-ins have surface noise and crackling, moreso on side 2. Interference at start. Static and clicking in places and during quieter cues/fadeouts. Stereo vocals sound great despite this and stylus does not appear to jump.
OUTER SLEEVE/COVER: G+. Colours are clear and unfaded on superb laminated front with paper back. Edges and spine unscuffed but lots of crease splits in from sides. Vein-like creases across front. Corners have obvious scuffs and aperture dogeared. Back cover has readable text but dark marks/staining mainly round edges. Small rip at centre of aperture. Laminated flipback present and attached. Overall, a G+ example due to staining on back.
INNER SLEEVE: G+. Poly-lined browned white paper sleeve, with centre hole. Light folds, crinkling and creasing. Edge and spine split. Rip on one side by centre hole.

ITEM CONDITION - items are graded according to Record Collector definitions - see below:
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, discolouration,
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.
