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.
These records are in very good condition. There are spindle marks on each label but there are no pen marks or scuffs. There is minimal wear around the centres and they are not loose. There is some strange 'red stain' to each label however, near the bottom section. This could be some sort of manufacturing defect however as it is suspiciously similar in colour to the vinyl colour(they shine a ruby red colour when held up to direct light, see last picture). Overall the labels do show signs of use and are not perfect but also have no scuffs or really nasty issues.
As for the vinyl itself, all four sides have signs of use with some lines, scratches, marks and light sleeve scuffs/marks showing. There is nothing that jumps out as really nasty or deep on any side, but there is signs of use as I say. All four sides still have a lovely lustre and although not perfect are also not completely 'battered'.
I play tested both the records and they played with no skips or sticks and solid VG audio overall. There was occasional interference in places with some splutters, surface noise and occasional light ticks. I noted no really loud disruptive ticks however but there is some light one in places. Most of this interference is light but does sound in the very quiet parts of some tracks. Most of the music with any real volume to it plays fine with little audible. It is graded at VG however and is not perfect. It can still be enjoyed however and during the play test I found none of the interference hugely disruptive.
The gatefold sleeve is in very good condition. It has rubbing and wear to the edges and corners but the writing along the spine is still legible. There are no splits, tears or pen marks anywhere and overall it is still solid. It does have some general age related wear however with ring marks and creasing to each side. There is also some general wear to each side with some minor indentations, grubbiness and a small scuff on the rear(near centre of top edge). Overall a solid sleeve with no major issues but some general signs of age as I have tried to explain Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible to its condition.
It contains two plain white inners which are strong with no splits but do have some age related creasing and light discolouring. Also they may both be replacements(or at least one) as they are slightly different in design.
It does not include its original poster unfortunately as this has gone missing at some point.
It does include its insert however. This is in excellent- condition with no serious issues but minor signs of handling and light creasing.
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.
