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 only a few light spindle marks visible on the labels and no pen marks, scuffs or fading anywhere. The centres are not loose and overall the labels are in great shape.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides are very clean indeed with just a couple of very light lines visible and nothing remotely serious on either side. There are a few more light wispy lines evident when viewed under bright white light but not many and of course nothing remotely sinister. The record has no scuffs or blemishes and has a beautiful vivid shine.
I play tested the record and it plays well. It lays flat, there is next to no movement in the record arm and the audio produced is superb on both sides. Its crisp, dynamic and really clear with little to no surface noise or interference. There is barely even a trace of static between songs and it really is a great listen. There are no skips, sticks, clicks or any other musical interference. Its a quality audio experience, was a pleasure to play test and although not a UK original would make a superb listening copy.
The gatefold sleeve is in very good condition. It has some wear to the edges and corners(pics), but the majority of the writing along the spine is legible. There are no scuffs, tears or pen marks anywhere but there is considerable fading and ring marks showing on both sides. This fading is the sleeves main issues really but other than this there is little to report with only minor creasing, no splits or serious issues and no major defects inside the gatefold. There is however also fading inside the gatefold.
It includes its original booklet/insert which is in excellent condition with no tears or scuffs. There is however extremely mild creasing and also a pen mark on the very back page.
It contains a plain white inner in very good+ condition. This has no splits, tears or pen marks but some creasing and discolouring.
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.
