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 has faint spindle marks visible on the labels but there are no pen marks, stains or fading. There is no scuffs anywhere and overall the labels are clean, bright and in good shape but with some faint spindle marks as mentioned.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides have a nice lustre and are free from any major or deep marks or scratches. It does however have light sleeve scuffing marks and light lines to both sides. These are not hugely noticeable unless angled in bright light but can be seen. They are all light and of course cannot be felt but as I say they are visible and so I have graded below 'EX' at VG+ due to these visual light lines.
I play tested the record and it played really well throughout with nice clarity and little interference. It lays flat, there is minimal movement in the record arm with just the most minor fraction of upward movement. The sound produced is excellent throughout with no distortion caused by excessive use and no skips, sticks or annoying clicks. The run in and quiet intro was nice and clear with the vast majority of the lp playing with next to no surface noise. I noted a trace of surface noise in the quiet last track on side 1 and a little in the intro to track 3 on side 2 but this was all minor and overall the audio was very enjoyable. The audio would easily grade as 'EX' on each side and the play test passed with little to report other than the odd most minor hint of surface noise as mentioned.
It includes its original info inner which is in excellent condition. This has no splits, pen marks or major issues and looks great. It has a small 5mm 'ding' or tear to the rear right side but overall it is excellent with no heavy signs of handling. I will of course send the record in a brand new plain white replacement.
Also included is its original fold out poster. This is in excellent condition with no serious issues or heavy creasing. It has light marks to the rear from blue tac/tape but these have not caused holes or other issues.
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.
