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 spindle marks visible on the labels but no scuffs, pen marks or stains anywhere. There is light wear around the centre holes but they are not loose. Overall the labels show signs of use and age but have no horrific issues to report.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides still have a nice lustre but do have clear signs of use and have with scratches, lines and marks present. There is nothing really nasty or deep but there is marks, scratches and lines over both sides. Overall a used vintage lp with clear and obvious signs of this.
I play tested the record and it plays ok generally but was certainly not perfect. It has no major issues such as skips or sticks and is still enjoyable but is not perfect. It lays flat on the deck and there is little to no arm movement upon playing. The audio produced is a grade of VG on both sides with general interference throughout. This comes in the form of light surface noise, occasional pops, splutters and noises. There is occasional light noises or tics but nothing prolonged other than for a period in track 1 on side 1. Here there is around 6 to 8 audible halfway into the track caused by some small marks(as pictured). So overall if you are after a perfect crystal clear listen then this is not for you. However if you are after a solid and enjoyable listen that has 'character' then it could be.
The front laminated sleeve is in very good condition. It has general signs of age and handling. It has creasing and ring marks showing to the laminated front and a ring mark/fading showing on the rear. There is also a grubby sticker residue mark to the front top right corner area. There is also some wear on all the edges and corners. Overall it is solid with no splits, tears or pen marks but does have clear signs of age. I have tried my best to explain the sleeves condition but please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible on its condition.
It contains a brand new plain white inner as the original was missing.
the record will be packaged in between 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.
