Cliff Richard And The Shadows* And The Norrie Paramor Strings ?– Cliff Sings

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 successful.

This record is in excellent- condition. It has spindle marks visible on the labels and also pen marks to each side. There are no scuffs or stains however and there is only minor wear around the centre holes. Overall the green Columbia labels are bright and in decent shape.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides have a vivid lustre and have nothing serious showing but there are some light surface lines visible in normal light. There are more incredibly light wispy lines and signs of age visible under very bright light but not a drastic amount and again nothing sinister. So overall a used vintage record free from anything serious, that has a beautiful shine but that has some light lines and signs of use.

I play tested the record and it plays well overall but does have a couple of things to mention. Firstly it lays flat on the deck and there is no movement in the record arm upon playing. The sound produced is excellent for the majority with side 1 playing really well with minimal surface noise and no skips, sticks or clicks. I would grade the audio on side 1 closer to EX+. Side 2 however starts with light surface noise and then a skip into the track. This skip is minor however and is not massively noticeable as it right at the beginning before the vocal or audio really begins. After the skip there is also 2 light ticks. Other than this issue side 2 also plays with some occasional background noise and mild splutter in places. This is not drastic but can be heard in the audio at point. Overall I would grade the audio on side 2 as a strong VG.

So overall a nice copy of this classic lp that plays well for the most part but has a few issues as mentioned above.

The front laminated sleeve is in very good condition. It has some wear to the edges and corners but the writing on the spine is all clearly legible. The sleeve remains solid all round and there are no splits or weak areas anywhere. There are no tears or scuffs but there are pen marks on the rear(top edge) and also a small one on the front(left side top edge). The main issue on the sleeve is age related discolouring or grubbiness to the rear. This is clearly obvious with age spots and browning to the majority of the rear. Other than this there is a strange stain and marks to the front top right corner area. There is no major creasing or ring marks however and despite it imperfections it is still decent enough. I have also tried my best to explain the sleeves condition, but please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible on its condition.

It contains its original 'Use Emitex' poly-lined inner which is in very good condition. It has no splits or tears but has pen marks, creasing and age related discolouring/grubbiness. I will send the record in a brand new plan white replacement to ensure the record remains clean and fresh.

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 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.
