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 marks visible on each label but there are no pen marks, stains or scuffs anywhere and the centres show minimal wear. Overall the labels are clean, bright and in good shape with no major issues to report but the spindle marks as mentioned.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides are clean overall and have nothing at all serious visible. There is the odd light surface line, mark and smudge showing in normal light however and also more light wispy lines evident when viewed under bright light. There is nothing major however and it still has a lovely lustre. Overall the vinyl is used and shows some signs of this but is also far from well used and is still in good playable condition.
I play tested the record and it played nicely with no major issues or serious levels of interference. It lays flat, there is little to no movement in the record arm and the sound produced is free from skips, sticks or serious clicks. I noted some light surface noise in the run ins on each side and also a little in the quieter last track on side 1. I also picked up two light but audible tics around 20 seconds in to track 2 on side 2. Both the light surface noise and the two tics are minor noises and in general the audio is of good clarity and it was a very enjoyable play test.
The gatefold sleeve is in very good condition. It has some wear and rubbing to the edges and corners but the writing along the spine is still just about legible. There are no tears, splits or pen marks but there is a scuff to the front top left corner area. There is also light grubbiness in places, mostly on the front. Inside the gatefold has no stand out issues and overall the sleeve is tidy enough but is not perfect with the few issues I have tried to outline. 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 very good+ condition with no tears, splits or pen marks but some creasing and light age related grubbiness/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 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.
