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.
These records are both in excellent+ condition. There are some spindle marks on the labels(mostly on record 1) but no sides have pen marks, scuffs, fading or stains anywhere. There is little to no wear around the centres and overall the labels are clean, bright and in nice condition.
As for the vinyl itself, all four sides have a lovely lustre and are very clean. There is nothing remotely serious on any side but there is a few faint thin lines showing in places. These are few and far between but can be seen faintly in places. They are mostly on record 1 with record 2 especially clean and closer to grade of NrM visually. Overall both records are in very nice condition with no nasty or deep marks and just a few faint lines showing in places when angled.
I play tested both the records and they played nicely with excellent audio throughout. They lay flat on the deck and upon playing there is little to no arm movement. The audio produced is very enjoyable from start to finish and there are of course no skips, sticks or annoying tics. I also noted very little surface noise with just a trace in the run in and quiet intro to side 1. Other than a minor trace in the opening stages the album plays with really nice clarity and certainly no disruptive interference.
The gatefold sleeve is in excellent condition. It has only a minor amount of rubbing or wear to the edges and corners with the writing along the spine all legible. There are no splits, tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere and very little creasing or ring marks. There is however some general age related discolouring/grubbiness to both sides and the spine. There is some showing around the edges and also a light amount inside the gatefold. Overall a strong and tidy sleeve with no major levels of wear or serious issues but with some age related grubbiness as outlined. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible to its condition.
It contains both its original plain black poly-lined inners which are in excellent condition. They are strong with no splits, tears or pen marks but have light creasing to some of the flipbacks and minor signs of age/storage.
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.
All offers are considered and are more than welcome.
Many thanks for looking.
