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 just a few faint spindle marks visible on the labels and there are no pen marks, stains or scuffs. All text is legible and overall the labels are clean, bright and in good shape.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides are nice and clean with a lovely lustre. There is a couple of very minor and faint lines showing in places but certainly nothing major, serious or nasty. Overall it has a few faint and minor lines showing but is very nice condition on the whole.
I play tested the record and it played very well throughout. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is little to no movement in the record arm. The sound produced is excellent with no distortion caused by excessive use and no skips, sticks or annoying clicks. There was a trace of surface noise in the run ins on both sides but little to none audible during play. Overall it was a pleasure to play test and produced audio of good quality and nice clarity throughout.
The front laminated sleeve is in excellent condition. It has only very slight wear or bruising to the edges and corners with the writing along the spine all clearly legible. There are no splits or serious areas of wear, and no tears, pen marks or scuffs anywhere. There is a few minor creases to the rear(mostly short ones emanating from the spine/edges) but nothing at all extreme. There is also a few small laminate 'bubbles' along the front left side and some light discolouring to each side. Overall a solid and tidy sleeve with light signs of age but nothing heavy or major. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible on its condition.
It includes its original plain white poly-lined inner which is in excellent condition. This has no splits, tears or pen marks but has some slight creasing and general signs of age/handling. The record will be sent in a brand new plain white replacement to ensure it remains clean and ready to play.
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.
