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 a few light spindle marks visible on the labels but no serious issues such as scuffs, stains or pen marks. All text is clearly legible, and overall the labels are in very nice shape.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides are nice and clean overall with a lovely lustre. There are a few very faint and minor light signs of use showing to each side but nothing remotely serious or major. Overall a nice clean record with just light signs of use and its age.
I play tested the record and it played really well throughout. 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, and little to no surface noise or interference of any sort. Overall it was a really enjoyable listen, with nice clarity and no real interference of any sort.
The sleeve is in very good+ condition. It has only very slight rubbing/wear on the edges and corners with the spine clearly legible. There are a few minor dents and dings along both record entry edges however(see pics). The main issue with the sleeve would be a large area of discolouring or staining showing to the bottom half of the rear(see pics). Other than this and the light edge wear, there is a fraction of discolouring to the front but no major issues such as tears, pen marks or splits. 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 picture inner which in excellent condition with no splits, tears or pen marks but with light creasing to the flipbacks and a small amount of discolouring. The record will of course be sent in a new plain white replacement inner to ensure no damage occurs to the original.
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.
Many thanks for looking.
