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 in near mint condition. There are only a couple of faint spindle marks visible on each label and no pen marks, scuffs or fading anywhere. The centres are not loose and overall the labels are near immaculate.
As for the vinyl itself, all sides are beautifully clean, have a vivid gloss and have little to nothing visible in normal light. There is still little evident when viewed in very bright light. There may be the odd most minor wispy line but nothing remotely sinister or serious. The records have no scuffs, serious marks or blemishes and are in lovely condition with minimal signs of use.
I play tested all three of the records and they played really well with superb audio. The all lay flat with next to no movement in the record arm upon playing. The audio is crisp and clear with next to no surface noise and of course no skips, sticks or clicks. I noted almost nothing during the play test(which is a good sign!) other than clear and enjoyable audio of high quality throughout. There was maybe the slightest possible trace of surface noise on side 2 but even this was really minor and overall all three records play really well.
The box itself is in near mint condition. It has just very slight wear to the edges and corners with the writing along them all clearly legible. There are no splits, tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere and overall it is clean, bright and strong. It does however have age spots inside it to both halves(see pics). Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible as to its condition.
Its booklet/insert is included and is in excellent condition. This has no creasing, pen marks or tears anywhere. The pages are crisp and bright overall but there the odd 'age spot' in places and some 'rusting' to and grubbiness around the staples.
It contains all three of its original poly-lined inners which are all strong with no splits or tears. There is no pen marks or major creasing but all three do have some light age related discolouring and minor grubbiness.
The box set/records will be packaged in cardboard stiffeners and bubble wrapped thoroughly when dispatched. It will also be sent within 24hrs of receiving payment to try and 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.
