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 on the labels, and no pen marks or scuffs. There is a little fading near the centre of side 2 however. The centre holes are not loose and overall the labels are in great shape with just the light fading on side 2 to report.
As for the vinyl itself both sides are really clean, have a vivid gloss and have little to nothing visible in normal light. There is a few incredibly light wispy lines evident when viewed under bright light but of course nothing remotely sinister. Overall it is in great shape with no real scratches, marks, blemishes or defects.
I play tested the record and it plays really well. It lays flat on the deck and the sound produced is excellent. Its crisp, dynamic and has virtually no interference or surface noise. There are of course no skips, jumps, clicks or any other serious issues. It was a pleasure to play test and produced excellent audio on both sides.
The sleeve is in near mint condition. It has minimal wear to the edges and corners(pics), and no splits, tears, scuffs or pen marks. It has barely any creasing(touch to lower flipback) or ring marks and looks great. There is a touch of grubbiness or mild discolouring around the edges but nothing severe and overall it is in great shape. 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 outer sleeve, within 24hrs of receiving payment to ensure the 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 are considered and are more than welcome.
Many thanks for looking.
