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 just a few minor and short spindle marks visible on the labels and there are no pen marks, scuffs, stains or other issues. Overall the labels are clean, bright and in good shape with just a few spindle marks as mentioned.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides are visually nice and clean with no major marks, scratches or issues. It has a nice lustre and shows only light signs of use. There is some faint 'blotchy manufacturing' marks showing in places but these are minor. Overall it is visually tidy with some signs of use and age but nothing major.
I play tested the record and it played well and was enjoyable throughout but was also not perfect with some interference in parts. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is little to no movement noticeable in the record arm. The audio produced has no skips, sticks or annoying tics but does have some surface noise in places. This can be heard in the run ins, intro early stages of some songs and between tracks. I also noted 3 quick 'bursts' of distortion in track 2 on side 2. These were brief but can be noticed. There is no obvious marks that cause them and so I can only assume it is some sort of manufacturing defect. Overall the album plays tidily but does have some surface noise in the quieter passages and also the minor brief distortion issue as mentioned.
The sleeve is in very good+ condition. It has some wear and rubbing to the edges and corners but nothing extreme and the writing on the spine is legible. There are no splits, tears, scuffs or pen marks and overall it is tidy. There is general signs of age however with some light fading in places, minor discolouring to the rear and slight creasing around the edges. Overall a solid sleeve with no major issues but some general signs of age as outlined. 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 Liberty inner which is in excellent- condition with no splits or tears but with some creasing, discolouring and a pen mark to one side. I will send the record in a brand new plain white replacement to ensure no damage occurs to the original during transit.
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.
