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 excellent condition. It has some spindle marks visible on the labels but there is not a drastic amount. There are no pen marks, scuffs or any other damage such as stains or fading. The centres are not loose or worn and overall the labels are clean, bright and look great.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides appear very clean with very little showing in normal light and of course nothing remotely serious. There a few very thin minor light lines, the odd faint sleeve scuff and some minor superficial 'blotching' but these are all minor and nothing at all sinister. These light signs of use show under bright light with a few more wispy lines but again nothing remotely deep or serious. So overall the record is in good shape, has a lovely lustre and shows only mild signs of use and its age.
I play tested the record and it played very well overall and was a very enjoyable listen with no major issues or serious levels of interference. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is minimal movement in the record arm. The sound produced is free of serious issues such as skips, sticks or loud annoying clicks but there is the occasional minor amount of surface noise and odd splutter in very quiet parts. None of this is hugely disruptive however and other than the odd splutter in very quiet parts to each side I noted just a brief light series(4 or 5) of ticks in a quiet part of the last track on side 2. So overall a very enjoyable listen with nice clear and defined audio for the vast majority but with the odd minor splutter in very quiet parts as mentioned.
The sleeve is in very good condition. It has wear and rubbing to the edges and corners but the writing along the spine is still just about all legible. There are no splits anywhere and all the edges are still solid enough despite showing wear. There are no tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere on the sleeve but there is evidence of taping along the top edge on the rear(pics). Other than this it has mild ring marks visible and some slight creasing in places but nothing too drastic. Overall not a perfect sleeve but one that is far from a disaster and is strong all round with no really nasty defects. 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 includes a brand new plain white inner as the original was missing.
There is no insert included unfortunately.
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.
