All records are graded to the Record Collector Guidelines, with extra information added as required when play tested. Also all photos above are of the exact record you will receive if purchased.
This record is in excellent- condition. It has some spindle marks visible on the labels but there are no pen marks, scuffs or any other issues such as stains or fading. The centres are not loose or worn and overall the labels are clean, bright and in tidy condition.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides have a lovely lustre and are generally in nice condition with no nasty or serious marks. There is however some light and faint sleeve marks, wispy handling lines and some light signs of wear showing in places. Due to these light but visual signs of use the record is graded just below excellent at EX-. There is nothing nasty or at all major showing and certainly nothing that can be felt. Overall the vinyl is used and has some signs of this but is also free of nasty marks or major issues.
I play tested the record and it played well with enjoyable audio throughout. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is little to no movement in the record arm. The audio produced has no skips, sticks or tics and is generally nice and clear. It has no serious surface noise with just a fraction in the quieter track 4 on side 1. Other than this there was a touch in the run ins and between some songs but nothing severe. Overall it plays well and was an enjoyable play test.
The sleeve is in excellent condition. It has some light wear and rubbing to the edges and corners but the writing along the spine is still legible. There are no splits, tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere and the spine is solid. There is some light age related grubbiness and discolouring to each side, and a few minor creases in places. There is also light ring marks. Overall a solid and tidy enough sleeve but one that is not perfect and has some signs of handling and its age. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible as to its condition.
It includes its original lyrics inner which is in excellent- condition. This has no splits, tears or pen marks but has some signs of handling with grubbiness and discolouring to it. I will send the record in a brand new plain white replacement to ensure no damage occurs to the original during transit.
The record will be packaged in cardboard stiffeners and bubble wrapped thoroughly when dispatched. It will also be sent in a brand new protective plastic sleeve, and within 24hrs of receiving payment to try to ensure a swift delivery.I hope my photos are comprehensive enough but if you have any questions then don't hesitate to contact me. Also please check my eBay feedback for a positive history of record grading, A1 communication and quick delivery times.
