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 just a few really faint spindle marks visible on the labels and there are no pen marks, scuffs, fading or any other serious damage. There is minor wear around the centres but overall the labels are clean, bright and in very nice shape.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides have nothing at all major or serious visible but there is the odd very light line, faint mark(small blotch on side 2) and occasional light sleeve scuff visible. All these 'marks' are very minor and overall the vinyl has a lovely lustre(shines deep red in direct light) and is in very nice shape.
I play tested the record and it played really well. It lays flat, there is little to no movement in the record arm and the sound produced is clear and excellent throughout. Its crisp with minimal traces of surface noise and there is no serious interference at all in the audio. There are no skips, sticks, annoying clicks or distortion and overall it was an audio experience of great quality and excellent clarity throughout.
The laminated gatefold sleeve is in excellent- condition. It has some wear and rubbing to the edges and corners but the majority of the writing along the spine is still legible. There are no tears or scuffs but there is pen marks inside the gatefold in the top right corner of the rear page. Other than the pen marks there is also some mild discolouring and a small stain in this area. The front and rear of the sleeve do have ring marks showing when angled and also some general signs of age or 'mottling' to the laminate. The booklet(textured) is still attached inside the gatefold but the staple in the middle attaching to the sleeve has become loose and so it needs to be handle with care so as not to remove it. Overall a nice enough sleeve which although not pristine is still free of major issues. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible as to the sleeves condition.It contains its original plain white inner which is in excellent- condition with no tears, splits or pen marks but with some slight age related discolouring and minor creasing.
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 ensure swift delivery.I hope my photos are comprehensive enough but if you have any questions then don't hesitate to contact me.
