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 very good+ condition. It has spindle marks visible on the labels but no pen marks, scuffs or fading. There is only very light wear around the centre holes and overall the labels are clean, bright and in good shape with all text clear and legible.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides are free from anything deep or serious but there is light surface lines and marks/minor scratches present. These are all light but can be seen and are a clear sign the record is used . These light lines clearly show, with more, under bright light but there is again nothing really deep or nasty. Overall this vintage record is used and is not perfect visually but also has nothing really sinister or deep.
I play tested the record and it plays well overall with no skips, sticks or clicks. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is little to no movement in the record. There was little to no distortion and on the whole it plays well. It has no major interference or problems but there is some light surface noise in the quieter parts of some songs. There is also some in the run in and intro to both sides. Overall I would grade the audio as a solid VG+ with just light surface noise in place(mostly side 1 with side 2 a solid EX).
The fully laminated sleeve is in excellent+ condition. It has minimal wear to the edges and corners(pics) with no splits and the text along the spine all clearly legible. The sleeve is strong all round and has no tears or pen marks. There is no major creasing to the laminate with just a few small ones near the edges and one other 1.5" crease to the front. There is also a one 1" crease on the front in the top left corner which has just cracked the laminate a little. Other than this there is only faint ring marks showing and overall the sleeve looks great. There is two tiny white marks on the front near the very bottom(centre area) but these are really small and minor. I have tried to describe the sleeve as best I can but please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible as to its condition.
It contains its original EMI inner which is in very good condition. This has no splits, tears or pen marks but has some creasing, age related discolouring and grubbiness.
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.
