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 just a few faint spindle marks visible on the labels but no pen marks, scuffs or fading anywhere. There is little to no wear around the centre holes and overall the labels are clean, bright and in great shape.
As for the vinyl itself, side 2 is beautifully clean and near spotless with next nothing showing in normal light. Side 1 however has some light surface scratches and marks present. None of these are deep or can be felt but they are visible in normal light. These are a clear sign of use and are the reason for the lower grading. Other than these marks on side 1 there is a few minor wispy lines showing under bright light on each side but again nothing really nasty. Overall a used record that is free of deep or serious marks but has some superficial lines to side 1 as mentioned.
I play tested the record and it plays very well. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is little to no movement in the record arm. The audio produced is very enjoyable throughout and has no major issues of any sort. There are no skips, sticks or disruptive clicks and little to no surface noise or interference. The only thing I noted on both sides was some very light surface noise in the quiet intro of track 1 side 1. Other than this there was nothing noted with none of the marks on side 1 having any noticeable affect, and side 2 sounding superb throughout. Overall a really enjoyable play test which produced very enjoyable audio, which in my opinion would be closer to a grade of EX+, rather than the visual grade of EX-.
The sleeve is in excellent condition. It has some wear and minor crumpling to the edges and corners but the writing on the spine is still nearly all legible. There are no splits and the sleeve as a whole is still very strong all round. There is a little 'crumpling' to the spine however and some light rubbing to all the edges. Other than the edges there are no tears, scuffs or pen marks and no serious creasing or ring marks. It is clean and bright and overall is in nice shape but with the light wear to the edges as mentioned. I have 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 includes its original lyrics inner which is in excellent+ condition with no splits, tears or pen marks and only very slight creasing. The record will be sent with a brand new plain white replacement inner to ensure no further wear occurs to the original.
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 ensure 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.
