CONDITION (using RRPG grading):
VINYL: NEAR MINT. Both sides of this stunning, barely-played, heavyweight 140g vinyl have a nicely-retained deep, black sheen.
There are a very small number of faint paper sleeve "removal" marks - which can only be seen when viewed at an angle and under a strong halogen lamp.
This record has been carefully stored away since the early 1970s.
Audio playback is 9-9.5/10 throughout.
Record sits flat, has no warps and plays through with no skips, sticks or jumps.
SLEEVE: NEAR MINT. Absolutely stunning - with no tears, stickers, folds, bumps or writing.
SPINE: NEAR MINT. No tears, bumps, folds or writing.
LABELS: MINT-. Just a couple of very light spindle marks - which can only be seen when viewed at an angle and under a strong halogen lamp. No stickers, tears or writing.
OTHER: Die-cut inner paper sleeve is EXCELLENT++. No folds, tears, writing or stickers.
100% Refund on any item if you are not happy with your order (full purchase price plus postage).
This item has been stored carefully in a smoke and pet-free home. I always pack and send records out in thick cardboard mailers with inner stiffeners to fully protect them in the post.
Postage reductions are available on request for multi-item purchases… check out my other items now! PLEASE NOTE: I always retain proof of postage but cannot be held responsible for
items lost in the post if no insurance is taken by the buyer when offered. Buyers should take the recorded, special delivery or international signed-for options on more expensive items.
