Various – Double Feature: Easter Parade / The Pirate (Original Soundtrack Recordings) (1948)
Condition (refer also to notes at bottom):
VINYL: G-VG. Clean on visual inspection. A few small surface scuffs and
hairlines, but nothing major – and no deep
scratches. Played just pre-listing and sounds clarity is good – and very good in places. Just
some light surface noise at run-ins and the odd click interference
during playback. Side A sounds brighter than side B. Plays with no skipping, jumping or sticking.
OUTER SLEEVE/COVER: G. Colours
bright, unfaded and clean on superb gatefold sleeve. Edges
show scuffing and large centre splits. Spine has creasing and bad wear at bottom
end but text readable. Corners quite badly scuffed, some dented and
buckled. Top right corner has sticker residue. Creases in
from edges and light scuffs across outer front and back gatefold. Disc outline impression/scuffs visible. Aperture lightly nicked. Inner gate has more scuffing and creasing but nothing major. Intact.
INNER SLEEVE: VG. White paper with square corners and centre hole. Folding and creasing but clean and intact. Small sticker residue at top of one side.

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.
