THE WORLD OF STEAM VOL 3. An Argo Transacord  recording. Released in 1974 on the ARGO label : SPA 337



Please note that I always play check records before listing and that I use the ‘Record Collector Rare Record Price Guide’ system as my reference for grading records.


Vinyl audio quality:  EX   No issues whatsoever. Lovely clear sound on both sides. Perhaps the tiniest bit of surface noise in some of the spaces between tracks and in some of the very quietest parts of the record.



Vinyl visual quality: EX+  Nice and clean with a bright sheen on both sides. No obvious ‘feelable’ scratches or any other very noticeable marks.



Album cover quality: VG   The album cover is in great condition and is only let down slightly by the fact that there are a couple of small price stickers on the gloss finished front of the cover (see photo 10). There is only minimal shelf wear to the top and bottom edges and hardly any scuffing at the corners. The spine has kept its shape well with all the printed info clearly visible along it’s length. There are a couple of creases towards the front bottom left hand corner but they are not too noticeable. The reverse of the cover, being mainly white in background has faded somewhat and picked up a few minor dirt marks particularly towards the edges but mostly around the ‘mouth’ (where the disc is inserted). There are no seam splits, rips or tears to the cover. There are no felt tip or pen marks.



Inner sleeve quality: VG   Just a generic white cellophane lined paper sleeve with blue print to one side. It’s basically intact but is a bit faded and creased.



Label quality: VG+   Both labels are in excellent condition. Just a very few  faint unobtrusive spindle traces around the centre holes.





I hope my photos have been of use.
