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 very good condition. It does have spindle marks visible on each label but there is no pen marks or major scuffs. There is some light wear around the centres however and a few 'scrapes' or scratches to each label. Overall the iconic labels are in decent condition but do show signs of use and age.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides are free from anything deep or really major but do have lots of light wispy lines, sleeve scuffs, marks and general signs of use/age. There is a few more obvious light scratches but these cannot be felt. Overall the vinyl is not perfect visually and is clearly used. It does however have nothing life threatening or that should cause nasty tics/interference.
I play tested the record and it played well enough but also was not perfect. It seems to lay flat on the deck but upon playing there is a very slight raise in the record arm. This is slightly more pronounce on side 2 than on side 1.
The audio produced is free of skips, sticks or loud annoying tics but there was a brief period of tics audible faintly for around 10 seconds in the early stage of track 3 on side 2. Other than these I noted the occasional light noise and some surface noise in places. There was light surface noise in the intros and between some tracks and in the odd quieter part. None of this interference was hugely disruptive however and despite clearly being used the record still produces a decent sound that I enjoyed listening to.
The gatefold sleeve is in very good+ condition. It has mild wear and rubbing to the edges and corners but nothing extreme. There is some rubbing in parts however, with light wear on the corners. Other than the edge/corner wear there is no tears, scuffs or pen marks to report. There is a few minor creases in places and a light ring mark to the rear. There is also light fading or mild age related grubbiness to each side and a small amount inside the gatefold. Overall a solid and decent sleeve with general age related wear but no major issues. 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. This has a 1.5" split to one side, creasing, discolouring and general signs of age/handling. I will send the record in a brand new plain white replacement to ensure it remains clean.
There are no posters or stickers included as these have gone missing at some point.
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.
