Professionally cleaned on my Moth record cleaning machine and then put in a fresh new poly-lined inner sleeves (the original inner sleeves have been included in the auction - see photo)
CONDITION:
VINYL = V.G.++ (No deep scratches, no groove damage, no distortion, average spindle trails, etc. Under a bright grading lamp I can make out a couple of more obvious but extremely shallow marks and a few other faint scuffs just visible on the vinyl's surface - although none of these correspond directly to any audible defects. It generally plays pretty well, but there is some very faint occasional surface noise audible during the run-in, between tracks and duting the first few seconds of the quiet intro of a couple of tracks. As the records played, I did hear the odd faint click or crackle in the background from time to time, but generally once the music kicks in that's all you can hear. Like so many well-pressed 60s records, they wear a few superficial marks well and definitely play a bit better than they look.
Note: for the purposes of this listing I have tested this 2LP on my Linn LP12 Sondek turntable - generally this is quite a critical test, but I must point out that I cannot guarantee exactly how this 2LP will sound on your turntable - common sense for most... but then this is ebay!!!)
SLEEVE = V.G.- (No rips, tears, defacing, etc. But had to be marked down for some lighter creases in the laminate and some general wear, a few grubby areas and the bottom section of the front cover is not sitting perfectly flat - see photos for further clarification)
NOTE: I must point out that we are actually a long standing physical record shop, with many decades worth of selling, trading and grading records under our collective belts. Unlike so many of the jokers now selling records on ebay, we know how to grade records. Before bidding, please read my description carefully, decide how much this record is worth to you and place you max bid accordingly. Please also feel free to check out my feedback from the many other successful transactions I have made in the past.
ANY QUESTIONS? PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO GET IN TOUCH!
HAPPY BIDDING!!!!!
