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.
This record is in near mint condition. It has no obvious spindle marks visible on the labels and no pen marks, scuffs or fading anywhere. The centre of side 2 does show slight wear however but they are not loose. Overall the labels are in great shape with nothing major to report other than the slight wear to the centres.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides are beautifully clean and are near spotless in normal light. There is a few very light thin wispy lines and a couple of minor 'sleeve scuffs' visible under very bright white light but not many and of course nothing remotely sinister. The record has no nasty scuffs, serious marks or blemishes and has a lovely vivid lustre.
I play tested the record and it plays really well. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is only a minor amount of upward movement in the record arm. This is very minor however and of course has no affect on the sound produced which is excellent throughout. Its crisp and defined with little to no interference audible and no serious issues at all. There is a hint of surface noise in the run in and very occasionally a minor amount between some songs but the vast majority is surface noise free and of high quality. There are no skips, sticks or clicks and no pops or any other serious issues. Overall it was a thoroughly enjoyable play test and produced audio of high quality with of course no major issues to report.
The gatefold sleeve is in near mint condition. It has only very slight wear and rubbing to the edges and corners with the writing along the spine all clearly legible. There are of course no splits or weak areas anywhere and overall the sleeve is in great shape. It has no tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere and inside the gatefold is clean, bright and near immaculate. There is next to no creasing and barely any ring marks evident and overall it in great shape with no major problems. It does have a faint minor mark on the front just to the right of Erics leg but this is barely even visible and overall it is in great shape as I say. I have tried to capture the sleeves issues as best I can in the pictures provided so please study these to gain as much information as possible.
It includes its original plain black inner in excellent+ condition with no splits, tears or pen marks but minor ring marks and creasing to the flipbacks.
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.
