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.
This record is in excellent+ condition. It has just a few light spindle marks visible on the labels and there are no scuffs, stains or pen marks. There is a small sticker to the far left side of label 1 however. Other than this and the few minor spindle marks the labels are clean, bright and in very nice condition.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides are very clean with a lovely lustre and little showing in normal light, and certainly nothing at all major or obvious. There is some faint and minor signs of use showing under bright light, but not an excessive amount and again certainly nothing major. Overall it is a very tidy copy with just light signs of use/age to its playing surfaces.
I play tested the record and it played really well with no major issues and hardly any interference of any sort. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is little to no movement in the record arm. The sound produced is excellent throughout with no skips, sticks or annoying tics. There is also hardly any surface noise with the general clarity excellent. The run ins on each side have just a trace amount of light surface noise audible and there is little to none during any of the tracks. Overall a really nice copy of this 60s classic lp.
The front laminated sleeve is in excellent+ condition. It has next to no rubbing to the edges and corners with the text along the spine all clearly legible. There are no scuffs, tears or pen marks on the sleeve and just a few very minor creases in places. There is no obvious ring mark showing to the front, and just a hint showing faintly to the rear. The rear does have some light age related discolouring however. This is certainly not at an extreme level but there is a fraction in places. Overall a nice tidy sleeve which for 50+ yrs old has survived well. 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.
It contains its original poly-lined inner which is in very good+ condition with no splits, tears or major issues but with some discolouring, grubbiness, creasing and general signs of age. The original will of course be included, but the record will be sent in a brand new plain white replacement to ensure it remains clean and ready to play.
The record will be packaged in between 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.
All offers welcome and considered. However be aware this is not the usual battered copy from the 60s and is more of a collectors copy, so offers of £5 will be politely declined.
Many thanks for looking.
