EX: A few very faint surface marks, nothing that will affect play VG+: A few more marks than a EX Used but not abused. VG: Light scuffs and light scratches, there will be light surface wear to the record. Expect some light surface noise in parts or a few clicks or pops here and there. VG-: The record may have some scratches that will be deep enough to feel. Audible clicks and pops may be consistently present, but no skips. G: A record that has been played and not taken care of. Constant background noise will be present. Buyer should view records with this grade as filler copies.

Anglo American have a mint- copy for sale right now for £100.

If the flip to the Bobby Hutton 45 "Lonely in love" plays better than Vg+ (as per a side) then i'd state it, as it's a bargain at £20, and it's by far and away the more desirable side IMHO.

Not sure if this ones featured before. Bargain !!! and don't forget the import duty at just short of$400 !!!!!! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/390455226587?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
