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 purchased.
This record is in very good condition. It does have spindle marks visible on each label and there is also some wear around the centres. These are not loose however and there is no issues during play. There is no pen marks to either side and all text is legible. Overall the labels are clean and in good shape but have some signs of use.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides are free from anything deep or major but do have faint sleeve 'scuffs', wispy lines, general signs of use and few light scratches showing in normal light. These all clearly show under bright light but there is again nothing really serious. This vintage record is used and has signs of this to each side but also has nothing really major and is still in good playable condition.
I play tested the record and it played nicely enough and can certainly still be enjoyed, but it is not pristine. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is only a very minor amount of movement noticeable in the record arm. This is very mild however and has no affect on the audio produced which is a strong grade of VG in my opinion. There are no skips, sticks or annoying disruptive clicks and any audio with volume is clear and has nice quality. There is some light surface noise in parts however with some noted in the run in's, intros and quieter parts. None of this surface noise is very loud or disruptive but it is there. Overall a good solid listen with no major issues but some light surface noise in places.
The gatefold sleeve is in very good condition. It has wear and rubbing to the edges and corners. Despite this the writing along the spine is still just about legible and the sleeve as a whole is still strong with no splits. Other than the edge wear there is no tears, scuffs or pen marks to report and sleeve is generally tidy. It has some light grubbiness in places, with a few small black marks on the front and mild ring marks to the rear. Overall a solid sleeve with no major issues but general signs of age/handling. I have tried to describe the sleeve as best I can but please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible as to its condition.
It contains its original info inner which is in excellent condition. This has no splits, tears or pen marks but does have light creasing and minor wear. The record will be sent in a brand new plain white replacement to ensure no damage occurs during transit.
Also included is its original fold out poster. This is in very good+ condition with no major tears but with evidence of blues tac on the rear. There is marks in the corners with also a small hole to the top left corner. There is also some discolouring to both sides and a few pen scribbles on the rear.
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.
