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.
These records are in excellent condition. There are spindle marks on each label but no pen marks, scuffs or severe fading anywhere. The centres show only very slight wear and are not loose or worn. Overall the labels are clean, bright and in good shape but with the few spindle marks as mentioned.
As for the vinyl itself, all four sides have a lovely lustre and show nothing at all serious or nasty. There is a few light lines and minor sleeve marks in places however. These are visible when angled in normal light or under bright light. They are nothing at all nasty or serious but are a sign of use. Overall both lps are free from serious issues but have some light signs of use to each side.
I play tested both the records and they both played really well. They lay flat with little to no movement in the record arm and the sound produced on all four sides is
excellent. There are no skips, sticks or tics and overall next to no surface noise. There is occasional very minor surface noise in between tracks but the vast majority of the audio is clear, crisp and of excellent quality. Overall the both play really well with audio of a very strong grade of EX throughout.
The gatefold sleeve is in very good+ condition. It has wear and rubbing to the edges(mostly bottom edges and centres of top edge) and corners but the writing along the spine is still all clearly legible. There are no full blown splits but there is wear in the centres of the top edges(see pics) which has caused these two 1.5" areas to weaken. Other than the edge wear there is no major issues such as pen marks, tears, scuffs or stains. There is some light creasing in places and the odd minor indentation but nothing severe. Overall a solid and tidy looking sleeve but one that has the edge wear as mentioned(and photographed). I have tried to describe the sleeve as best I can but please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible.
It contains both its original lyric inners. These are in very good+ condition. Both have ring marks and very slight creasing but neither has splits, tears or pen marks.
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.
