Various ‎– The Wonderful World of Western Themes (Original Film Soundtracks and Hit Music) (1965)

Condition (refer also to notes at bottom):
VINYL: VG. Looks fantastically clean on visual inspection. No signs of any marks, scuffs or hairlines but some residue on side 1. Mottling and residue all over side 2. Played just pre-listing and sound clarity is very good throughout. Static and clicking at run-ins. Light surface noise and clicking throughout, which is more noticeable during quieter sequences. Could benefit from a professional clean. Plays with no skipping, jumping or sticking. An enjoyable listen to these iconic themes despite mild interference.
OUTER SLEEVE/COVER: VG-EX. Colours are clear and unfaded. Thin laminated sleeve. Red obi sash present, attached and undamaged. Just light creasing spine and disc outline. Corners and aperture have a few nicks, edges are unscuffed except for 1cm nick at bottom. Spine is in great shape. Reverse shows some yellowing but is clean and unmarked. Mild discolouration to aperture edge and some dirt in top left corner. Flipbacks present and attached. A decent example overall.
INNER SLEEVE: EX. Columbia picture sleeve. with angled edges one end. Light creases but intact.

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.
