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 some spindle marks visible on the labels but there are no pen marks, scuffs or staining. There is minimal wear around the centre holes and overall the labels are clean, bright and in good shape but with some spindle marks.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides are very clean with a lovely lustre and nothing obvious or serious showing in normal light. There is some very faint signs of use showing under bright light with light wispy lines and the occasional sleeve mark. There is also a really small mark just into track 3 on side 1. This is the reason for the lower grading. It is very faint and hard to see but is there. Overall the vinyl is in very nice condition with just light signs of use and the small mark as mentioned.
I play tested the record and it played very well overall with good clarity. It lays flat and there is little to no movement in the record arm upon playing. The sound produced is excellent with no skips or sticks and nice clarity throughout. The general audio would be closer to a grade of EX+ but unfortunately the small mark mentioned above(in track 3 on side 1) causes around 8 tics. The first 4 of these are masked somewhat by the audio, but the next four do sound more obviously. So overall a really nice sounding lp for the vast majority but one that has the brief period of tics as mentioned in the early stages of track 3 on side 1.
The sleeve is in excellent+ condition. It has hardly any wear or rubbing to the edges and corners with the writing on the spine all clearly legible. The sleeve remains rock solid and the spine is square and straight. There are no splits or weak areas anywhere and no tears, pen marks or scuffs. There is no serious ring marks showing and very little creasing. There is however a light amount of fading or marking to the rear top edge area. This is pretty minor though and overall it is clean, bright and in very nice condition. I have also tried my best to explain the sleeves condition, but please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible on its condition.
It contains its original plain white poly-lined inner which is in excellent condition. It has no splits, tears or pen marks and just minor light creasing and slight signs of age/storage.
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 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.
