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 successful.
This record is in excellent+ condition. It has just a couple of really faint spindle marks visible on each label and there are no pen marks, scuffs or any other damage such as stains or fading. The centres are not loose or worn and overall the labels are clean, bright and in great shape.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides are really clean, have a lovely lustre and have nothing remotely serious showing in normal light. There is the odd very faint and minor sleeve 'scuff' showing in places and one incredibly minor line of wear near the end of side 2 but there is nothing remotely sinister. Overall the record is in really nice shape, has the most lovely shine and shows just mild signs of use to its playing surfaces.
I play tested the record and it played really well and sounded superb throughout. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is no major movement in the record arm. There is a slight amount of upward movement noticeable on side 1 but strangely little to none on side 2. Either way both sides movement is minimal and has no affect on the audio produced which is excellent throughout. There is no distortion caused by excessive use and of course no skips, sticks or annoying clicks. There was also barely any surface noise and overall it was a pleasure to play test. Even the very mellow and quiet talking parts were clear and overall the audio was closer to NrM in my opinion.
It includes its original plain white inner which is in excellent condition. This has no splits, tears or pen marks but has some mild creasing and slight age related discolouring/grubbiness in places.
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.
