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.
These records are in very good+ condition. All four labels do have spindle marks visible and some wear around the centre holes. Despite this the centres are not loose and overall the labels are in good shape with their push out centres firmly in place. There is no pen marks, scuffs or severe fading and all text is fully legible.
As for the vinyl itself, all four sides have a lovely vivid gloss and overall are very clean. There is some light surface lines and very minor lines present in places but not a drastic amount. There is however an 8mm mark at the beginning of side 4 which has caused the set to be graded a little lower. Overall both have a nice sheen and are in good shape but for this small mark as mentioned.
I play tested both records and overall they both play well. They lay flat and the audio for the vast majority is excellent. Sides 1,2 and 3 have solid excellent audio throughout with nothing more that the odd faint amount of surface noise to report. Side 4 does however have light ticks audible for the opening 20-25 seconds(caused by the small line mentioned above). These can be heard due to the fairly mellow nature of the tracks intro. Once these have passed the track continues problem free, like the other 3 sides. Overall the audio is excellent as a whole but track 4 does have these light ticks at the beginning as mentioned.
The iconic sleeve and booklet is in excellent+ condition. It has only a touch of wear to the edges and corners(pics), and there is nothing remotely serious and no splits or major issues. There is no serious creasing or ring marks and overall the front and back appear clean and bright. There is a touch of laminate peeling to the rear left edge but this is pretty minor. Inside there is a few grubby marks on the 1st page and a small pen mark(T.L) on the second page(top right corner). Other than these issues the rest of the booklet(which has its blue lyrics centre) is crisp and clean with only a very minor amount of age related discolouring in places. Overall a very nice example of this classic booklet/sleeve. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information on its condition as possible.
It contains both its original 'wavy top' plain white inners which are in a similar very good condition. Both have some creasing and ring marks but are solid with no splits or pen marks. Both have a few grubby marks and one has a small 5mm tear to the central window. I will send the records in two brand new plain white replacements.
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.
