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 a few incredibly faint spindle marks visible on the labels but no pen marks, scuffs or staining. There is next to no wear around the centre holes and overall the labels are clean, bright and in great shape.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides are very clean overall with nothing remotely serious showing, but the odd faint surface line and very light 'sleeve scuff' visible in normal light when angled. These are not deep, are very thin/soft and are very minor indeed. There are a few more incredibly light wispy lines visible under very bright white light and some minor signs of use to both sides but again nothing remotely sinister. So overall a used vintage record free from anything remotely serious, that has a lovely lustre but has a couple of faint light surface lines to either side.
I play tested the record and it plays really well. It lays flat and there is minimal upward movement in the record arm upon playing. The sound produced is excellent with no serious issues and next to no surface noise or interference. There are no skips, sticks or disruptive clicks and overall it was a thoroughly enjoyable play test with clear audio of great quality. It was free of any major issues and had really minimal amounts of interference in general.
The laminated sleeve is in excellent+ condition. It has little to no rubbing or wear to the edges and corners with the writing on the spine all clearly legible. The sleeve remains rock solid and there are of course no splits or weak areas anywhere. There are no tears, scuffs or pen marks and overall the sleeve is in tidy condition all round. There is only very faint ring marks showing and just a few areas of laminate bubbling along the spine. Overall a very nice sleeve with no major issues and only light signs of its age. I have also tried my best to explain the sleeves condition, but please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible on its condition.
It contains its original plain white inner which is in very good+ condition. It has no splits(small 1" weak area to left edge), tears or pen marks but does some age related discolouring and mild wear to the edges.
It includes its original lyrics insert which is in excellent+ condition with minimal signs of handling.
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 within 24hrs of receiving payment to try to ensure a 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.
