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 excellent condition. It has just a few very faint light spindle marks visible on each label and there are no pen marks, scuffs or stains. The centres show minimal wear and are not loose or worn. Overall the labels are clean, bright and in great shape with little to report.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides have nothing remotely serious evident with no real scratches in normal light. There is however signs of use in the form of very light thin wispy lines or sleeve marks showing under bright light. These are all light and very minor but they do show and are a sign of use. So overall this used record is in very nice condition, still has a lovely lustre and is free of any serious issues or defects but has wispy lines present under bright light.
I play tested the record and it played really well and was a very enjoyable listen with no major issues and minimal amounts of interference of any sort. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is next to no movement in the record arm. There are no skips, sticks or annoying clicks and only very, very occasional amounts of very light surface noise. I noted a trace in the run in on both sides and occasionally a little between tracks but this was all on both sides and overall I would grade the audio closer to EX+ than the visual grading of EX.
The gatefold sleeve is in excellent condition. It has only a hint of wear and rubbing to the edges and corners with all the writing along the spine still clearly legible. There are no splits anywhere and all the edges are still rock solid. There are no tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere on the sleeve and little to no creasing or ring marks. There is however some discolouring/grubbiness in places. This is mostly around the top edges, but there is a little to all the lighter areas. Inside the gatefold looks superb however and overall the sleeve is excellent with little to report other than this discolouring or grubbiness in places. I have tried to describe the sleeve as best I can but please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible as to its condition.
Its contains its original picture/info inner which is in near mint condition. This has no splits, tears or pen marks and little to no creasing or wear. I will send the record in a brand new plain white replacement to ensure no damage occurs to the original during transit.
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.
