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 faint spindle marks visible on the labels but no scuffs, pen marks or major issues. There is some very faint age spots to each side but these are very minor and overall they are clean, bright and in tidy condition.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides are nice and clean with a lovely lustre and nothing at all major or serious showing. There are a few light signs of use, with the odd wispy line and a couple of light sleeve marks, but there is nothing at all serious. Overall it is a tidy copy with just light signs of use to its playing surfaces.
I play tested the record and it played well throughout. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is little to no movement in the record arm. The sound produced is excellent throughout with no skips, sticks or annoying tics. There was light surface noise in the run ins on each side however, and also a very minor hint in some of the much quieter passages of play(intro side 1). This is not loud however and is not at a disruptive level but there is traces in parts. Overall a nice listen though with no serious issues and slight surface noise in parts as mentioned.
The gatefold sleeve is in excellent condition. It is generally tidy all round with no scuffs, tears, splits or pen marks. There is just slight wear showing along the spine and this is still all legible. The other edges show just a few faint traces of rubbing. The sleeve has no real creasing but does have a light amount of fading and grubbiness to the rear. There is also some discolouring/grubbiness/age spots inside the gatefold, mostly along the top edge areas. Overall a solid and decent sleeve with no major issues but with some signs of its age as outliend. I have tried to describe the sleeve as best I can but please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible as to its condition.
It contains its original plain white inner which is in very good+ condition with no splits, tears, pen marks but with age related discolouring and creasing. The record will be sent in a brand new plain white replacement inner.
Also included is its booklet insert. This is in excellent- condition with no tears, pen marks or serious issues(loose pages) but with some signs of age and handling.
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.
