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 visible on the labels and I still could not see any when I viewed it under bright light. There are no pen marks, scuffs or any other damage such as stains or fading and the centres are not loose or worn. Overall the labels are in superb condition and near enough immaculate.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides are beautifully clean and near spotless in normal light. There is the odd thin light wispy line and very minor 'sleeve scuff' visible under bright light but not many and of course nothing remotely sinister. So overall the record is in superb condition and of course has no nasty scuffs, serious marks or blemishes and has a beautiful vivid lustre.
I play tested the record and it plays near perfectly and sounded fantastic throughout. It lays flat, there is little to no movement in the record arm and the sound produced is superb throughout as I say. Its really clear with barely a trace of surface noise or interference audible in the audio and only the most minimal amount possible in the run in. There is no distortion caused by excessive use and of course there are no skips, sticks or annoying clicks/pops. It was a pleasure to play test and produced audio of very high quality with superb clarity and definition.
The sleeve is in near mint condition. It has virtually no rubbing/wear to the edges and corners, and the writing along the spine is all clearly legible. The corners are sharp, the edges are square and there is little to no discolouring or grubbiness anywhere. There are of course no splits and no tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere. There is no creasing or any ring marks visible and overall it is clean, bright, strong and in superb condition all round. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible on its condition.
It includes its original lyrics inner which is in near mint condition. This has no tears, splits or pen marks and little to no creasing or ring marks. I will send the record in a brand new plain white replacement so no issues occur 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.
All offers are considered and are more than welcome.
Many thanks for looking.
