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 very good condition. It has spindle marks visible on the labels but there are no pen marks, stickers or scuffs. All text is legible and overall the labels are tidy but there is also some very light age spots showing when angled. Overall labels that have some signs of use and age but no major problems or serious issues.
As for the vinyl itself both sides have signs of use and age showing(more so when angled) but also have nothing nasty, deep or major. There is light lines in places, minor light marks and general signs of age and handling. There is nothing nasty or really extreme however and overall it is used but is still in good playing condition.
I play tested the record and it played tidily overall with no major issues or serious levels of interference. It lays flat on the deck and there is little to no movement in the record arm upon playing. It has no skips, sticks or loud annoying clicks but there was some minor interference in parts. The vast majority of play is excellent and there is no serious issues. There are two small spots/marks in track 1 however that cause 3 and then 4 more incredibly minor light tics. These are not loud disruptive tics and can only just be heard in the audio but they do sound incredibly lightly. Other than these minor and light noises the album plays well with nice clarity and no serious surface noise or interference. There was the odd light splutter in places but certainly nothing major. Overall a very tidy listen and one that would easily match the VG visual grading.
The original inner sleeve was missing and so the record will be sent in a brand new plain white replacement inner.
It does include its original fold out insert however. This is in excellent condition with no tears, pen marks or major issues but with some light creasing and mild signs of age.
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, 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.
