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 near mint condition. It has around 5 or 6 short, light spindle marks visible on the label of side 2 but there are none at all on side 1. There are no pen marks, scuffs or any other damage such as stains or fading and the centres are not loose or worn. Overall the labels are clean, bright and in great condition.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides are beautifully clean with a vivid gloss and nothing remotely serious showing in normal light. There is one thin very faint line on side 2 visible only when angled but other than this the record is spotless, glossy and superb. There are a few more thin light wispy lines or faint sleeve marks visible under bright light but not a lot and of course nothing remotely deep or serious. So overall the record is in really nice condition, has a beautiful lustre and shows only very light signs of use.
I play tested the record and it played really well and sounded superb throughout with excellent clarity and minimal amounts surface noise or interference. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is little to no movement in the record arm. The sound produced is very clear for the vast majority with just the odd most minor faint splutter of surface noise in the odd near silent part of the audio. There is no distortion caused by excessive use and of course there are no skips, sticks or annoying clicks. Overall it was an absolute pleasure to play test and produced audio of high quality and excellent clarity for the vast, vast majority.
The laminated sleeve is in excellent+ condition. It has little to no wear or rubbing to the edges and corners with the writing along the spine all still clearly legible. There are no splits anywhere and overall the sleeve still remains rock solid. There are also no tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere and very little creasing to the laminate. There is some grubbiness along the rear top and bottom edges though, where there is glue exposed and it has picked up grubby elements. There is also mild ring marks to both sides but these are not hugely noticeable. Overall the sleeve is strong, clean, bright and has no serious issues. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible on its condition.
It includes its original plain white EMI inner which is in excellent condition. This has no splits, tears or pen marks but has some light creasing and mild discolouring in places.
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.
