VINYL

PLAYTEST

The LP plays superbly,  like a new record, very quiet between tracks, no pops, bangs, jumping or sticking.

Playtest grade is NEAR MINT.

Visual

Visually the record is graded as EX++, with no scratches and only a couple of label spindle marks, which are hard to notice

Side 1: Looks unmarked, a couple of very short feint surface marks when viewed under a strong light.

Side 2: Looks unmarked, just one thin feint surface mark on last track, when viewed under a strong light.

COVER

The cover is graded EX- and was not laminated, but has no writing or labels.

There is some partial ringwear on the front and back cover - please see photos.

The edges and corners are in very good shape, with just some thin stains along part of the top and bottom seams.

The spine is also excellent with all the lettering visible.

Overall in excellent shape, although the handling marks over the years, show up on the very light background - see photos.

INSERT

The original lyrics insert is included in the sale (see photo), and is a nice flat card.

The insert shows no wear and is graded EX+

Please see my feedback on selling LPs over the last couple of years.

The record will be packed in a stiff package specifically designed for sending vinyl throught the post, with added protection on the corners
