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 no obvious spindle marks visible on the labels and there are no pen marks or stains. There is however some scuffing to the label on side 1 around the top edge(left area). The centres are not loose or worn how everand overall the only thing to fault the labels on would be the scuffs to side 1.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides are very clean, have a vivid lustre and have nothing remotely serious showing in normal light. There is very minor faint surface lines or sleeve marks just about visible in certain lights however. These are nothing at all serious but can be seen in places. These wispy lines and very minor 'sleeve scuffs' are clearly visible under bright light but are again nothing sinister. So overall this vintage record is in very nice condition with no serious scuffs, marks or blemishes and a vivid lustre.
I play tested the record and it plays very well and produced superb audio of great clarity throughout. It does however have a slight warp to it which causes the record arm to 'bob' a little upon playing. This is visually noticeable but has no affect at all on the sound produced which is very clear with little to no surface noise or interference audible in the audio. There is the most minor amount in the run in/out but nothing at all severe. There is no distortion caused by excessive use and of course there are no skips, sticks or annoying clicks/pops. Overall it was an absolute pleasure to play test and produced audio of great quality but does have the arm movement as mentioned.
The gatefold sleeve is in excellent condition. It has only minor rubbing and wear to the corners and the edges with the writing along the spine all still clearly legible. There are of course no splits and no tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere. There is however a touch of creasing in places(rear top and bottom edges) and also a light faint mark to the front(on Pauls left cheek). These issues are all pretty minor and overall the sleeve is still strong, clean and looks nice. Inside the gatefold has its booklet firmly attached and is clean and bright. The booklet does seem to have been attached a little 'off centre; however and so seems to lay at an angle.
Overall a tidy and clean sleeve with no major issues but a few minor ones that I have tried to describe as best I can. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible as to its condition.
It includes its original plain white inner which is in very good condition. This has no tears or pen marks but does have minor creasing and some slight age related discolouring. It also has a 1.5" split in the bottom edge but this has been taped and so it is still solid and fulfils its purpose.
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.
