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.
These records are both in excellent- condition. There are some spindle marks on the labels but not an excessive amount. No sides have pen marks, scuffs or staining and overall both labels are in good tidy condition.
As for the vinyl itself, all four sides have a nice lustre and show nothing major, deep or serious. There is some signs of use and handling however with some light wispy lines in places and light scuffing. There is also the odd area of superficial mottling and a few slight lines showing. Overall both record show no major marks and are in good playable condition but are also not pristine and have some signs of age and handling.
I play tested both the records and they played well. They lay flat on the deck and upon playing there is little to no arm movement. The audio produced is very enjoyable and there are no skips, sticks or annoying tics. The is a light amount surface noise in some parts(run ins etc) but there was no major interference. Overall all four sides play tidily with audio that would be closer to a grade of 'EX' in my opinion.
The laminated gatefold sleeve is in very good condition. It has some rubbing and laminate wear to the edges and corners but the writing along the spine is still legible. There are no splits, scuffs or pen marks anywhere and it still has its original sticker to the front. There is however some general signs of age to the front and rear with some minor creasing, ring marks showing and light discolouring. The inside has the most noticeable issue however with discolouring/staining showing(see pics). All the text inside the gatefold is legible but there is this grubbiness/staining as mentioned. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible to its condition.
It contains both its original blue lyric inners. Both have some light wear on the edges and light signs of age. One is solid with no splits but the other has a large split along the bottom edge. The records will of course be sent in two brand new plain white replacement inners to ensure no further wear occurs to the originals.
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.
