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 excellent condition. It has a few 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 clean, bright and in good shape.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides are nice and clean overall with a lovely lustre and nothing at all serious showing in normal light. There is a few faint light wispy lines and faint sleeve marks lightly visible when angled but nothing remotely deep or serious. So overall the record is in good shape with a lovely lustre but with mild signs of use and age.
I play tested the record and it played really well and sounded great throughout with excellent clarity and little to no interference. It lays flat, there is next to no movement in the record arm and the sound produced is excellent with no distortion caused by excessive use and no skips, sticks or annoying clicks. There was maybe a hint of surface noise between some tracks and in the intro to side 2 but nothing at all major and overall it was a pleasure to play test and produced audio of good quality.
The textured sleeve is in excellent condition. It has a minor amount of wear and rubbing to the edges and corners but the writing along the spine is still all legible. There are no splits, tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere and no major issues with ring marks, fading or creasing. There is a few 'grubby marks' on the front however. These can be seen over the top half of the front but are not hugely noticeable. Other than these there is also a few minor 'scratches' to both sides and some general signs of age/handling. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible.
It includes its original picture/lyrics inner which is in near mint condition. This has no splits, tears or pen marks and next to no creasing. There is a tiny 'dent' on one side of the top(record entry) edge but this is minor and overall it is in really nice condition. I will send the record in a brand new plain white inner to ensure it remains in good shape and does not get damaged 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.
