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.
This record is in very good+ condition. It has some faint spindle mark visible on the labels but there are no pen marks, stains or scuffs. All text is legible and overall the labels (which has the 'double dip' near the outer rim) are clean, bright and in nice condition.
As for the vinyl(which shines a deep translucent red when held to direct light) itself, both sides have a nice lustre but also show some signs of age and use. There are some light lines, minor scuffs and some minor areas of use evident. There is nothing at all nasty or deep but there are some light signs of use present to each side.
I play tested the record and it played well throughout. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is little to no movement in the record arm. The sound produced is a solid grade of excellent audibly with no distortion caused by excessive use and no skips, sticks or annoying clicks. The run ins were nice and clean and the very mellow parts also had no serious interference. Overall it plays well and was an enjoyable listen throughuot.
The textured sleeve is in excellent condition. It has minimal wear to the edges and corners with the writing along the spine all clearly legible. There are no splits or serious areas of wear, and no tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere. There is minimal fading to each side but there is some light bruising along the record entry edges. There are also a few minor creases showing places. These are not really heavy but there are a few light creases, and so the sleeve is graded as 'EX'. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible on its condition.
It includes its original picture inner which is in excellent condition. This has no tears, splits or major issues but does have mild age related discolouring in places. The record will be sent in a brand new plain white replacement inner to ensure it remains clean and ready to play, and so no further damage occurs to the original during transit.
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.
