The vinyl looks VG under strong light, clean with some marks / scuffs & light scratches. I’ve played it all and it plays fine no sticking / no jumps, strong clear sound free from distortion, but there is some light crackle and some soft ticks in places. Overall it is a perfectly listenable copy but not for the audiophile.
The textured labels have some spindle traces no other marks or damage
The front laminated sleeve is VG+, just slight wear, no splits, some general ageing on the rear and a small bit of damage to the bottom flipback at the corner. The original shop sticker is on the rear top right.
The plain white inner (I’m not sure if it is original) is supplied but it’s badly torn and stained.
Please see photos.
I have cleaned this on my pro-ject VC-S vinyl cleaner using the manufacturers non-alcohol cleaning fluid and it comes supplied in a new anti static inner.
If you have any questions please ask.
------------------
Gradings refer to the UK Record Collector Magazine standard (shown below). I would only use "mint" for genuinely unplayed records. Visual grading is done under a spotlight. Play testing is done on a pro-ject turntable.
If buyer is not satisfied for any reason please contact me, I will refund on safe return of item.
Record will be packaged in a proper mailer with stiffening.
Mint (M) - The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet. booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records marked as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
Excellent (EX) - The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
Very Good (VG) - The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects is acceptable
Good (G) - The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc
