Record

The record has beautiful glossy black surfaces. Under bright light there are just storage/handling hairlines present, quite light in number. There are no scuffs or scratches on either side. The record lays 100% flat on the turntable. The record has been very well kept and is graded a strong Excellent.

Labels

The blue and silver Regal Zonophone labels are almost defect free! There are just two spindle lines on side two but none at all on side one. From this we have a very lightly played record. There is no wear at all to the spindle hole area itself. The labels are graded Excellent Plus

Cover

The laminated front cover has just one or two light laminate wrinkles which are hard to make out in the cover artwork. There are one or two small laminate bubble spots and some small wrinkles near to the spine. The rear cover is fine with no nasty creases or blemishes, just a couple of very light storage signs present. The three flip-back edges are excellent.  The edges and spine are nice and straight with no splits or rub wear, just one or two wrinkle creases to the spine. The record entry edge does have some softening and feathering. The corners are very square with just tiny beginnings of rubbing. There is no ring-wear present and I am happy to grade the cover Excellent.

Inner Sleeve

The record comes with the original white inner sleeve in excellent condition with no tears or seam splits. Patents Applied For, Made in Great Britain appears along the bottom edge

Sound Quality

I have play graded the album completely and the sound quality is near perfect. The run in is near silent as are the between track linking grooves. There is no distortion and no hiss, clicks or pops that I heard. A beautiful playing album throughout and is highly recommended.

Please see scans of cover and labels below

TERMS AND CONDITIONS – PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

The grading system I use is from Record Collector: - Mint, Excellent, Very Good with +/- to distinguish borderline grades.

All records are carefully visually inspected under bright light and play graded before auction to avoid any disappointment to buyers, so bid with confidence.

A full no quibble refund for the cost of the record will be offered if you are not satisfied for ANY reason.

I treat all vinyl with the greatest respect whether £5 or £50, so all records are sent out with plastic covers in professional mailers and two protective cardboard stiffeners. I always separate records from their covers and original inner sleeves

for posting to prevent seam splits occurring during shipping.

It is the buyer’s responsibility to take out any insurance cover required. I would advise insurance to be taken out on any item sale greater than £30.00 as protection against loss or damage during shipping. Without this additional insurance the full value of items above £30.00 that are lost or damaged will NOT be able to be recovered.

Following the close of the auction I will send an invoice within twenty four hours. All winning bidders must make contact within three days of the end of the auction or I reserve the right to withdraw the item or select the second chance option and offer the item to another bidder.

Please do not bid if you have significant negative feedback unless checking first.
