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 very faint spindle marks visible on each label but there are no pen marks, stains or scuffs anywhere. The centres show minimal wear and are not worn or loose. Overall the labels are clean, bright and in very nice condition.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides are nice and clean overall with nothing serious or deep visible. There is some light faint lines and minor sleeve 'marks' showing however and also 2 lines/smudges on either side of side 1(see pics 9 + 10). These are light but can clearly be seen. So overall the vinyl is used and some light lines showing but also has no nasty marks or serious issues.
I play tested the record and it played really well and sounded great throughout. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is little to no movement in the record arm. The sound produced is of excellent quality with next to no surface noise audible. There was a slight trace in the run in but on the whole it is crisp and very clear. There are no skips, sticks, clicks or pops and it produced audio of good quality and excellent clarity throughout.
The sleeve is in excellent condition. It has only mild rubbing or wear to parts of the edges and corners with the text along the spine all still clearly legible. There are no tears, scuffs or pen marks and only a couple of minor creases to the front. There is also only a very faint ring marks and just a little age related grubbiness. There is a few minor indentations and light signs of age to each side but overall the sleeve is excellent and free of serious issues. 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 lyric inner which is in very good condition. It looks tidy and there are no tears or pen marks but is has some mild grubbiness and also splits in the two side edges. These are roughly the same size("2) and although not fully blown as yet are there. I will send the record in a brand new plain white replacement to ensure no further wear occurs to the original
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 try to ensure a 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.
All offers are considered and are more than welcome.
Many thanks for looking.
