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 near mint condition. It does have some spindle marks visible on the labels but there are no pen marks, scuffs or fading. The centres are not loose and overall the labels are clean, bright and in good shape but with the few spindle marks as mentioned.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides are beautifully clean with a vivid lustre and little to nothing evident in normal light. When view under bright light there is a few incredibly light wispy lines visible but not a great deal and of course nothing remotely serious. The record has no scuffs or blemishes and with its gorgeous lustre is a really nice copy.
I play tested the record and it played near perfectly. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is little to no movement in the record. The sound produced is superb and very clear with only a minuscule trace of surface noise in the run in and very occasionally a hint between some tracks. There are of course no skips or clicks and overall it was a pleasure to play test with excellent quality audio from start to finish.
The fully laminated sleeve is in near mint condition. It has only very slight wear/'creasing' to the edges and corners with the writing along the spine all clearly legible. All the edges are strong with no splits or weak areas and there are no tears, scuffs or pen marks on the sleeve. There is however a small red mark to the front right edge(centre area) and also a 'biro mark/some writing' that has been '90% rubbed out' on the rear in the top right corner. There is also a laminate 'bubble' around the front top left corner area and a slight ring mark showing on the rear. There is no major levels of creasing however and no heavy ring marks or really nasty laminate issues. It is clean and bright and overall it a very nice example, especially considering its age. I have tried my best to describe the sleeve but please study the picture provided to gain as much information as possible as to its condition.
It contains its original blue/white poly-lined inner which has no splits, tears or major issues but has some light creasing, mild age related grubbiness and a pen mark in one corner. The record will be sent in a brand new plain white replacement inner.
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, 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.
