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 a few light spindle marks visible on the labels, but no pen marks or any other serious issues. There is no scuffs or fading and overall the labels are excellent.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides are really clean with only one or two extremely light hairlines visible in normal light. There are a few more incredibly light wispy lines visible under very bright white light, but again nothing remotely deep or serious. The record has no scuffs or blemishes and has a beautiful vivid shine and really is in great shape.
I play tested the record and it plays really well. It lays flat but there must be the tiniest fraction of a storage warp as there is the smallest amount of upward movement in my record arm(SME 3009). This is really very minor however and has no affect on the sound produced which is superb. Its crisp, dynamic and has virtually no interference other than a minuscule trace in the run in and occasionally between some songs.. There are no skips, jumps, clicks or any other serious musical issues. Its a very enjoyable audio experience and was a pleasure to play test.
The gatefold sleeve is in excellent condition. It has some wear to the edges and corners(pics), but the writing along the spine is clearly legible and all edges are strong with no splits or any weak areas. There are no tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere, but there is some slight discolouring to both sides and also inside the gatefold. This discolouring is the biggest issue, but it is still not disastrous and overall it is strong all round. It contains a plain white inner in excellent condition, with no splits or serious issues.
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.
All offers are considered and are more than welcome.
Many thanks for looking.
