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 excellent+ condition. It has a few light spindle marks visible on the labels but no pen marks, scuffs or fading anywhere. The centres are not loose and overall the labels are in great shape with just the few spindle marks to report.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides are free from anything remotely serious and are very clean in normal light with just a few minor light lines visible. There is again nothing serious, sinister or remotely deep under very bright light, just a few more incredibly light wispy lines evident The record has no nasty scuffs or blemishes and has a lovely vivid shine.
I play tested the record and it plays really well. It lays flat, there is no movement in the record arm and the sound produced is great. Its crisp, defined and very clear with only the most minor trace of surface noise audible in the run in and between some tracks. There is virtually nothing audible during the actual audio and of course no serious issues such as skips, sticks, annoying clicks or pops. It was a very enjoyable play test and produced audio of high quality.
The gatefold sleeve(which has its black dots present) is in excellent condition. It has a touch of wear to the edges and corners(pics), but the writing along the spine is all clearly legible. There are of course no splits or weak areas and the edge wear mentioned is really just a 1" section on the spine(pics). Other than this there is very little at all. There are no pen marks or tears anywhere and there is only a very faint ring mark visible on the back. There is however a hint of minor creasing in places and also a few thin scuffs visible in parts in the shape of the record. These can be seen on the back(top left) and front(bottom right) They can also be seen on both halves inside the gatefold, in the top halves. So overall a stong, clean and bright sleeve but with the partial edge wear and these thin scuffs as its main issues. I have tried to capture the sleeves condition as best I can in the pictures provided so please study these to gain as much information as possible.
It includes its original blue lyrics inner which is in excellent+ condition. This has no serious issues such as splits, tears or pen marks and only faint ring marks. There is little to no creasing but there is slight wear to the corners.
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.
