THE SLEEVE

THE GLOSSY PICTURE SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH SOME LIGHT WEAR AND SOME MINOR TANNING TO SOME AREAS. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF SLIGHT BRUISES TO THE OPENING EDGE BUT OTHERWISE THE EDGES AND CORNERS ARE ALL NICE AND STRAIGHT AND THE TEXT ON THE SPINE AND ON THE TOP EDGE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THE INSERT

THE LYRIC INSERT IS IN MINT CONDITION.

THE VINYL

VISUALLY THE HEAVY GLOSSY BLACK VINYL APPEARS TO BE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION AND UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT I CAN ONLY SEE A FEW TINY HAIRLINE MARKS. I HAVE FULLY PLAYED THE RECORD AND CAN CONFIRM THAT THE SOUND QUALITY IS GENERALLY SUPERB THROUGHOUT. I ONLY NOTED A BRIEF PERIOD OF VERY SLIGHT & INTERMITTENT CRACKLE EARLY DURING SIDE TWO.

THE LABELS

THE RED HIS MASTER’S VOICE LABELS, WITH FULL COLOUR DOG IN STAMP LOGOS, ARE BOTH IN NEAR MINT CONDITION.

ALL RECORDS ARE REMOVED FROM ANY PICTURE SLEEVE TO PREVENT KNIFING. I DO NOT USE “ENVELOPE STYLE” MAILERS. INSTEAD I USE SPECIAL MAILERS DESIGNED TO PROTECT YOUR RECORDS AND ENSURE SAFE ARRIVAL.

I HAVE DESCRIBED THIS RECORD STRICTLY ACCORDING TO RECORD COLLECTOR MAGAZINE GRADING SYSTEMS SO THERE WILL BE NO NASTY SURPRISES FOR THE WINNING BIDDER. THIS RECORD HAS BEEN CAREFULLY VISUALLY & FULLY PLAY-GRADED.
