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 near mint condition. It has some very faint spindle marks visible on the labels but 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 in very nice condition with no serious issues to report.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides are really clean with very little showing in normal light. There is the odd faintest possible line and really minor sleeve mark showing when angled but nothing at all major and for its age it is in superb condition. These few incredibly light lines and a few more thin light wispy lines are visible under bright light but not many at all and of course nothing remotely deep or serious. So overall this vintage record is in really nice condition, has a stunning lustre and shows only slight signs of use to its playing surfaces.
I play tested the record and it played really well with clear and defined audio throughout. It lays flat, there is no movement in the record arm upon playing and the sound produced is excellent. Its very clear with virtually no surface noise or interference audible in the audio and only the most minimal amount possible in the run in. There is no distortion caused by excessive use and of course there are no skips, sticks or annoying clicks/pops. Overall it was a great play test and it produced audio of high quality and excellent clarity throughout.
The sleeve is in excellent+ condition. It has next to no rubbing or wear to the edges and corners with the writing along the spine all clearly legible. There are no splits or weak areas and no tears or pen marks anywhere. There is barely any creasing and next to no ring mark showing. There is a hint of discolouring to the rear but for its age this is really minor and overall it is clean and bright. There is a small line of 'scuffing' on the rear left edge however. This is the reason for grading under near mint but other than this minor issues the sleeve is in great shape. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible on its condition.
It includes its original Reprise inner which is in excellent condition. This has no splits, tears or pen marks but does have some very minor creasing and light ring marks to it. I will send the record in a brand new plain white replacement to ensure no damage occurs to the original during transit.
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.
