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 very good condition. It has faint spindle marks visible on the labels but no pen marks, scuffs, fading or any other damage. The centres are not loose or overly worn and overall the labels are clean, bright and in great shape.
As for the vinyl itself, there are some light surface lines, sleeve scuffs/marks and a couple of other scratches showing on both sides. The vast majority of these are light and cannot be felt but there is a 1" scratch in track 5 on side 1 that can be felt with you finger. These lines and signs of use are mostly all faint but they clearly show under bright light along with more wispy lines. So overall the record is used but is far from battered and still has a nice shine. There are some lines and marks showing however as mentioned.
I play tested the record and it plays well and although not pristine in my opinion would grade closer to excellent audibly. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is only slight movement in the arm. The audio produced is very enjoyable and is free of any skips, sticks or loud disruptive ticks. I did hear 4 or 5 pops between tracks 4 and 5 on side 1 however. There was also some faint ticks or splutters in the first 30 seconds or so of track 3 on side 2. These were very minor however and I could only just pick them out from the audio. The scratch in track 5 on side 1 seems to have little to no affect and does not produce ticks(that can be heard through the audio). There is no major surface noise and overall the audio is crisp, clear and excellent overall. It was a very enjoyable play test and the audio produced most certainly does this classic album justice, as although not pristine it is still very nice.
The sleeve is in very good condition. It has wear and rubbing to the edges and corners(pics) but the writing along the spine is still just about legible. There are no splits or weak areas anywhere and there are no tears or pen marks. There is however a small 6mm scuff on the front in the top left corner(pics). There is also ring marks showing to both sides, some age related fading in places and a few creases dotted around. Overall a solid sleeve however with no really major issues just general age related wear really. 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 inner which is in excellent condition with no splits, tears or pen marks but some light creasing and mild discolouring.
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.
