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 light spindle marks visible on the labels but no pen marks, scuffs or fading anywhere. The centres are not loose and overall they are in good shape.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides are free from anything remotely serious and have a lovely gloss. There are a couple of very light minor wispy lines just visible in normal light but nothing at all major as I say. These and a few more extremely minor wispy lines are visible under very bright white light but again nothing sinister. The record has no nasty scuffs or blemishes and has a lovely vivid shine.
I play tested the record and it plays really well. It lays flat, there is next to no movement in the record arm and the sound produced is great throughout. Its crisp, defined and clear with little interference audible. There is a hint in the run in and occasionally between some songs but the vast majority is surface noise free. There are of course no skips, sticks or clicks and no pops or any other serious issues. It was a thoroughly enjoyable play test and produced audio of good quality.
The gatefold sleeve is in very good condition. It has some wear to the edges and corners(pics), but the writing along the spine is legible. Despite this wear there are no splits or weak areas anywhere and overall the sleeve is solid enough. It has no tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere but there is some age related grubbiness throughout and also a circular(tea cup?) stain on the rear(pics). There is also mild ring marks and some slight creasing in places but overall it is solid enough as I say. I have tried to capture the sleeves issues as best I can in the pictures provided so please study these to gain as much information as possible.
It includes a brand new plain white inner as the original was missing.
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.
