Pink Floyd ?– Wish You Were Here

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 just about visible on the labels but no pen marks, scuffs or fading. There is only very minor wear to the centre holes and they are not loose or worn. Overall the labels are clean, bright and in very nice condition with no major problems.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are free from anything remotely deep or serious with just some very light and wispy lines showing in places. These are mostly showing on side 2 when angled but there is some on side 1. These are all very minor and thin with nothing at all serious or sinister. Other than these faint lines there is also a small mark around halfway through side 1. This is again light and cannot be felt but can be seen when angled in normal light. Overall the vinyl shows some signs of use but is far from heavily played. It has a lovely lustre and has no serious marks, blemishes or scuffs.

I play tested the record and it played very well throughout. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is little to no movement in the record arm. The audio produced is closer to a grade of EX+ throughout. There is of course no skips, sticks or annoying tics and overall there is barely any surface noise or interference. The run in and quiet intro is near silent and side plays with excellent clarity throughout. The small mark mentioned above causes a few of the most minor lightest possible noises but these are so faint they are actually very hard to detect in the audio. Side 2 plays in a similar fashion with excellent clarity throughout. I noted the most minimal amount of faint spluttering in the near silent part at the end of track 1 but even this was minor. Overall it plays very well and would easily grade as EX- audibly, with audio closer to EX+ in my opinion as I say.

The sleeve is in excellent- condition. It has some rubbing and wear to the edges and corners which has affected part of the text along the spine(see pics). There are no pen marks, tears, scuffs or splits anywhere however and the sleeve is still strong all round. It also has no serious creasing and only light ring marks. It does have some general age related grubbiness/discolouring to it however. This can be seen on the white areas to the front and rear. It is not extreme for a white sleeve and I have seen far worse but the white areas are not bright and radiant as they once were. I have tried to describe the sleeve as honestly as possible but as I say please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible as to its condition.

It contains its original picture inner(with three corners cut and a bottom right corner uncut) which is in very good condition. It has no tears or pen marks but there is a split to the bottom edge which has been taped at some point. This tape has discoloured and so obviously stands out in this area. Other than this split/taping issue there is little to report with only minor ring marks and slight discolouring throughout. I will of course send the record in a brand new plain white replacement inner to ensure no further wear or damage occurs during transit.

There is no postcard included unfortunately as this has gone missing at some point.

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, and within 24hrs of receiving payment to ensure 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.
