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 very good+ condition. It has quite a few spindle marks on the labels(pics), but no pen marks or any other damage. As for the vinyl itself it has light hairlines on both sides but nothing deep or serious. It also has light groove wear in 'Rat Salad' and also an even smaller amount in 'Iron Man'. The vinyl is perfectly flat and still has a nice shine.
I play tested the record and it plays really well. It lays flat with no warp whatsoever and the sound is very good. It has no jumps, sticks, skips or major defects. It does though have a slight crackle noticeable only in the very quite sections of songs and between songs. Overall though the album is great and the crackle is nowhere near disastrous. I would grade the musical content as excellent-.
The gatefold sleeve is in excellent condition. It has wear to the edges and corners(pics), which is the main reason for grading. It is clean, has a strong spine and there are no tears or pen marks anywhere. Other than wear to the edges, there is a small 1cm squared scuff on the back at the top(pics), and also slight fading to the front and back. It contains its original swirl inner which is strong but has discoloured due to age.
The record will be packaged in cardboard stiffeners and bubble wrapped thoroughly when dispatched. It will also be sent the same or very next day after receiving payment to ensure the fastest possible delivery.
I hope my photos are comprehensive enough but if you have any questions, or for prices on international shipping or combined postage don't hesitate to contact me.
