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 good condition. It does have spindle marks on the labels, but no pen marks or any other damage, they are in good shape. As for the vinyl itself, both sides have lots of very light surface lines visible in normal light. There are more incredibly light wispy lines/marks visible under very bright white light, but nothing massively sinister or deep.
I play tested the record on my system which is quite revealing(SME 3009 tonearm + Ortofon stylus) and it plays well, but did have a few issues which I will outline here. It lays flat and there is only very slight movement in the record arm. The sound produced is good but does have a mild background crackle throughout which is just audible during play. There is also some slight deterioration to the sound quality as a whole with some mild sibilance evident in places. There is also(and the biggest issue) 2 skips in track 1 on side 1. The first occurs around 20 seconds in, while the second around 1 minute in. There are no further skips, sticks or clicks, its just the mild interference and slight deterioration after this but it still sounds pretty good for its age and I enjoyed the play test(apart from track 1 which is just annoying!).
The sleeve is in very good condition. It has some wear to the edges and corners(pics), but the writing along the spine is legible. Despite the wear to the edges they are all strong with no splits or weak areas where one may develop. There are no tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere and overall it is solid enough. There is however age related wear throughout. There is some minor creasing to the laminated front(nothing massively drastic) and faint ring marks on both sides. The back also suffers from staining and grubbiness(see pics). So overall not mint but this record is 50 years old and so for its age it is solid enough.
It will be sent with its original 'Use Emitex' inner which is in remarkably good shape with only mild creasing and discolouring to report.
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.
