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 does have some faint spindle marks visible on each label but there is not an excessive amount. There is also no pen marks, scuffs or major stains and minimal wear around the centres. Overall the labels are in nice condition with all text legible and no serious problems, just a few faint spindle marks as mentioned.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides are free from anything deep or really major but do have some wispy lines, sleeve scuffs and a few light marks/scratches. There is nothing major or really obvious however and the vinyl still has a nice deep lustre. It is a used vintage lp however and so is not pristine but is also still in good tidy condition. It has some signs of use age but no really major or serious marks.
I play tested the record and it played well overall with no serious issues or major levels of interference. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is little to no movement in the record arm.
The audio produced is free of skips, sticks or loud annoying tics but there was some surface noise in places and the occasional minor noise. I noted some light surface noise in the run ins on each side and a slight amount in some of the interludes. There was also a small amount of faint surface noise audible through the quieter second track on side 2. This and none of the interference mentioned was loud or disruptive however and despite the odd noise and splutter to each side I enjoyed the entire play test.
The gatefold sleeve is in very good+ condition. It has some wear and rubbing to the edges and corners but there are no splits and it is still solid all round. The text along the spine is also still all legible but there is some wear as I say. The corners and bottom edges show the most wear but there is some to all the edges. Other than the edge wear there is no really serious issues with no tears, scuffs or pen marks. There is a light ring mark and some fading to the rear however and a few minor age related marks to both sides. Inside the gatefold has no serious issues with just a few very light signs of age. Overall a tidy enough sleeve but one that has the edge wear and general signs of age as mentioned. 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 contains its original plain white inner but this is tatty with grubbiness, creasing, a few small tears and general signs of age. I will include the original but the record will be sent in a brand new plain white replacement.
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.
