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 some spindle marks visible on the labels but there are no scuffs or really serious issues. There is a pen mark to the right side of side 1 however.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides are generally nice and clean with a nice lustre and no obvious or nasty marks showing. There is some signs of use and age however with some light wispy lines in places, a few minor blotchy marks and general light signs of handling. Overall a used 50yr old record which is in good playable condition but is also not pristine and has some light signs of use and age.
I play tested the record and it played tidily throughout with no major issues but light splutters of surface noise in places.
It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is little to no arm movement.
The audio produced is a solid grade of VG+ with no skips, sticks or annoying tics. There is however light traces of surface noise in parts due to the mellow nature of the audio. None of this is at a heavy or excessive level but it can be heard lightly in places. I also noted a couple of quick bursts of distortion to side 1. These were only very brief and only occurred on a couple of incidences. Due to these and the light amount of surface noise in places I have graded at VG+ which I think is fair and accurate.
The front laminated sleeve is in very good+ condition. It is solid all round with no splits, tears, scuffs or pen marks. It has just slight wear to the edges and corners with the spine all clearly legible. There is however some laminate creasing to the front and also a section of laminate missing to the front top right corner area. There is also a few laminate bubbles near the spine and some light discolouring to the rear. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible on its condition.
It contains a plain white poly-lined inner which is in very good condition. It is solid but has signs of age with creasing, discolouring and grubbiness. I will send the record in a brand new plain white replacement to ensure it remains clean and fresh.
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 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.
