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 near mint condition. It has just a few faint spindle marks visible on the labels and there are no pen marks, scuffs or any other damage such as stains or fading. The centres are not loose or worn and overall the labels are clean, bright and in very nice condition.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides are very clean with little showing in normal light. There is a very faint sleeve mark/scuff showing faintly on side 1 when angled but this is really slight and minor. Other than this there is few thin light wispy lines visible under bright light but of course nothing remotely serious. So overall the record is in really good shape with a lovely lustre and just very slight signs of use.
I play tested the record and it played very well throughout with good clarity and minimal interference of any sort. It lays flat on the deck and there is little to no movement in the record arm upon playing. The sound produced is excellent with no distortion caused by excessive use and of course no skips, sticks or annoying clicks. There was maybe the most minor trace of surface noise in the run ins but there was nothing at all major or severe. The quiet passages also play with nice clarity and overall it produced audio of good quality and nice clarity throughout.
The embossed gatefold sleeve is in excellent+ condition. It has very little wear to the edges and corners with the writing along the spine all clearly legible. There are of course no splits, and no tears, scuffs or pen marks. There is hardly any creasing and no serious ring marks. There is however some age related discolouring or light grubbiness to both the front and rear. This is not at an extreme level but there is some with the white sleeve having become a little jaded over the years. Other than this minor issue there is little to report however with minimal wear as I say. There is also only traces of discolouring inside the gatefold. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible on its condition.It includes its original picture inner(3 corners snipped) which is in excellent condition. This has no splits, tears or pen marks but some light creasing and minor signs of age/handling.
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.
