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 excellent+ condition. It has some faint spindle marks/rubs visible on each label but there is not loads or an extreme amount. There are no pen marks, stains or scuffs anywhere and the labels are clean and bright. The centres show minor wear but are not worn or loose and overall the iconic TwoTone labels are in nice condition.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides are very clean overall. They have a lovely lustre and have nothing remotely serious visible in normal light. There is the odd incredibly faint sleeve 'scuff', minor thin line and a ring of really light 'groove wear' on side 2 but these 'issues' are all very minor and on the whole it is in very nice condition. It has no nasty or obvious scratches, serious scuffs or major marks and is a nice tidy example.
I play tested the record and it played really well and sounded great throughout. It lays flat, there is little to no movement in the record arm and the sound produced is excellent. It has little to no surface noise audible other than a trace in the run ins. The vast majority of the audio is crisp, clear and of high quality. There are no skips, sticks, clicks or pops and overall it was a pleasure to play test and it produced good quality audio throughout.
The front laminated sleeve is in excellent condition. It has only minor wear to the edges and corners with the text along the spine all clearly legible. There are of course no splits anywhere and the sleeve as a whole is still rock solid. There are no tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere and no serious levels of creasing. There is a few small creases in places(rear left edge) however and also a little grubbiness to the rear. There is also a touch of discolouring to the front. This is not severe though and overall the sleeve is clean, strong and in good shape with just general light signs of its age. 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 plain white poly-lined inner which is in excellent condition with no splits, tears or pen marks and only mild signs of handling/age.
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.
