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 near mint condition. There are some spindle marks on the labels(mostly on record 1) but not an excessive amount. 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 and there is very little showing in normal light. There is a faint line/mark on side 4 that is lightly visible but other than this there is little showing on any side, and certainly nothing major or nasty.
I play tested both the records and they played very well with excellent audio throughout. They lay flat on the deck and upon playing there is little to no arm movement, with just the most slightest fraction on side 3. The audio produced is very enjoyable from start to finish and there are of course no skips, sticks or annoying tics. Other than the most minor trace in the run in and opening few seconds the album plays with really nice clarity and certainly no disruptive interference.The quiet last track on side 4 plays really well with excellent clarity and little to no surface noise or interference.
The gatefold sleeve is in excellent+ condition. It has only a hint 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 but there is a small dent on the far right of the top front edge. This is very slight however and other than this there is little to report with very little creasing and minimal ring marks. There is a hint of discolouring in places(on the spine and a fraction around the edges) but overall the sleeve is in very nice condition with no serious issues and only very light signs of age. 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.
