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 good+ condition. The labels do have very light spindle marks but these are only just visible. There are no pen marks or scuffs and there is only slight fading. The centres are not loose and overall they are in good shape.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides are free from anything deep or sinister but do have lots of light lines visible in normal light. There are even more extremely light wispy hairlines and a couple of thin lines of light groove wear visible under very bright light but again nothing really sinister. Despite these light lines and clear signs of use the record has no really nasty issues and still has a nice shine.
I play tested the record and overall it plays well. It lays flat on side 1 with next to no movement noticeable in the record arm but on side 2 there is a trace of a storage warp and there is slight movement. This is minor however and has no affect on the audio produced. This is on the whole a very enjoyable audio experience but there is a background crackle audio throughout. This is really only noticeable in the softer parts of tracks and between songs, and isn't really loud and massively intrusive. Despite the clear signs of use and heavy wear the record plays pretty well with no skips, sticks or clicks, just the light background crackle throughout.
The sleeve is in very good+ condition. It has some wear to the edges and corners, which has partially affected the writing along the spine, but this is still legible on the whole. The worst of the wear is to the corners but despite this all the edges are strong with no splits or really weak areas. Other than the edge wear there is some creasing throughout and faint ring marks. So overall the sleeve is strong, clean and in good shape with no major issues but some minor superficial problems as mentioned.
It contains its original lyrics inner but this is in poor condition. This has heavy creasing, grubbiness/staining and long splits to all edges. I will therefore send the record in a replacement inner to ensure no further damage occurs to the original.
The record will be packaged in between cardboard stiffeners and bubble wrapped thoroughly when dispatched. It will also be sent in a brand new protective plastic sleeve, within 24hrs of payment to ensure 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.
