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 excellent+ condition. It has some spindle marks visible on each label but there are no pen marks, stains or scuffs anywhere. The centres show minimal wear and are not worn or loose. Overall the labels are clean, bright and in good shape with no major issues to report.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides are very clean, have a lovely lustre and have nothing remotely serious visible in normal light. There is however some incredibly light faint sleeve 'scuffs' and the odd minor thin line showing when angled. These are all faint and minor but are a sign of use and can be seen when angled in places. These and a few more incredibly light wispy lines are visible under very bright light but again nothing remotely serious or sinister. The record has no serious scuffs, nasty marks or blemishes, has a lovely vivid lustre and overall is very clean but does have very faint light lines as mentioned.
I play tested the record and it played really well and sounded great throughout. It lays flat, there is little to no movement in the record arm and the sound produced is excellent with little to no surface noise or interference audible. There was a trace in the run in but nothing at all major and the vast majority of the audio is crisp, clear and of high quality. There are no skips, sticks, clicks or pops and overall it was a pleasure to play test and it produced quality audio throughout.
The gatefold sleeve is in very good+ condition. It has only light wear to the edges and corners with the text along the spine all still legible. There are no splits anywhere and the sleeve as a whole is still rock solid. There are no tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere and little to no ring marks. There is also no major creasing but there is some light fading in places and also some minor indentations on each side. There is also some light age related grubbiness in places. All these issues are fairly minor and the sleeve still looks tidy enough but I have graded at VG+, which I think is fair and accurate. 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 a plain white inner which has no splits or pen marks but has a 1" tear to the top(record entry) edge. It is clean and solid but has this tear as mentioned.
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.
