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 successful.
This record is in excellent+ condition. It has just a couple of light spindle marks on the labels and no pen marks, scuffs, fading or any other damage. The centres are not loose and overall the labels are in great shape.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides are beautifully clean with next to nothing visible in normal light. There are a few extremely minor light wispy lines visible in very bright light but not loads and of course nothing remotely serious or sinister. The record has no serious scuffs or blemishes and has a beautiful vivid shine. It is in superb condition and would grade as near mint visually.
I play tested the record and it plays really well. It lays flat, there is no movement in the record arm and the sound produced is superb. Its crisp, dynamic and has only a trace of surface noise audible in a couple of parts. These are the first 20-30 seconds of track 1 on each side. This light interference is very mild and nothing serious and soon disappears completly leaving superb audio to the end of both sides. There is no serious interference at all and there are obviously no skips, sticks or annoying clicks. Its an audio experience of very high quality and was a pleasure to play test.
The textured gatefold sleeve is in excellent+ condition. It has some wear/rubbing to parts of the edges and corners(pics), and but the writing along the spine is all clearly legible. This rubbing is mainly along the top edge where nearly all the paint has rubbed off the front section of the top edge. Other than this there is a couple of 'dings' to the spine and slight rubbing on the corners. Other than this edge wear there is little to report other than a small scuff on the back in the top left corner area. So overall the sleeve is in great shape and has a rock solid spine, no tears and no pen marks anywhere. There is next to no creasing or ring marks visible and inside the gatefold is near immaculate with the booklet firmly in place and free of pen marks, creasing or any other issues. So as I say overall the sleeve is in great shape with just the light edge rubbing and a few minor superficial issues as mentioned. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible on the sleeves condition.
It contains its original plain white poly-lined inner which is in excellent condition with no tears, splits or pen marks and only slight creasing and age related wear.
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. Also please check my Ebay feedback for a positive history of record grading, A1 communication and quick delivery times.
