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 excellent+ condition. It has just a few faint spindle marks visible on labels and there are no pen marks, stains or scuffs. The centres show little to no wear. and overall the labels are clean, bright and in nice shape.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides are very clean, have a beautiful lustre and have nothing remotely serious visible in normal light. There is a couple of incredibly light faint sleeve 'scuffs' and the odd faint line showing when angled however. These are faint and minor but are a light sign of use and can be just about seen when searched for. These and a few more incredibly light wispy lines are visible under very bright light but again nothing remotely serious or sinister. The record has no serious scuffs, nasty marks or blemishes, has a lovely lustre.
I play tested the record and it played really well and sounded great. It lays flat, there is little to no movement in the record arm and the sound produced is clear with little to no surface noise or interference. There was a trace in the run in but nothing at all major and the vast majority of the audio is crisp, clear and of high quality. All I noted on each side combined was a couple of light splutters and 2 light pops near the end of track 3 on side 2. These were also minor and brief and overall it plays very well with no skips, sticks or annoying clicks. Overall it was a pleasure to play test and produced very nice audio throughout.
The embossed sleeve is in excellent- condition. It has some wear and rubbing to the edges and corners but the text along the spine and top edge all still legible. There are no splits anywhere and the sleeve is still solid. There are no tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere but there is a few indentations on each side and mild ring marks. There is also some very slight grubbiness and a few creases in some areas. Overall a solid sleeve with no major issues but some general signs of age and handling as I have tried to outline. 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 lyrics inner which is in excellent- condition and has no splits, tears or pen marks but has ring marks and creasing. I will send the record in a brand new plain white replacement to ensure no 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.
All offers are considered and are more than welcome.
Many thanks for looking.
