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.
These records are both in near mint condition. There are next to no spindle marks on the labels with just one short faint one visible on side 2. No sides have pen marks, scuffs, fading or stains anywhere and there is little to no wear around the centres. Overall the labels are clean, bright and in near perfect condition.
As for the vinyl itself, all four sides are beautifully clean, have a vivid lustre and have little to nothing visible in normal light. There are a few extremely light wispy lines and the odd most minor and faint sleeve mark showing when viewed in bright light, but these are of course extremely minor and nothing remotely sinister or serious. The records have no serious scuffs, nasty marks or blemishes and are in really nice condition with minimal signs of use to their playing surfaces.
I play tested both the records and they played really well with excellent audio of great clarity throughout. They lay flat on the deck and upon playing there is little to no arm movement. The audio produced is clear and defined throughout with even the very mellow parts playing near perfectly with no surface noise or issues. There are of course no skips, sticks or annoying tics and overall all four sides play A1 with nothing more than the most minimal and rare occasional trace of surface noise.
The gatefold sleeve is in excellent+ condition. It has a minor amount of rubbing or wear to the edges and corners but the writing along the spine is all clearly legible. There are no splits, tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere but there is an old price sticker to the rear. This could possibly be removed if desired but I have left it so as to not risk causing damage. Other than the very slight 'edge wear' and the sticker there is light age related grubbiness throughout. This is far from extreme but there is light grubbiness around the edges and to some of the white area. Overall a very nice sleeve with minimal wear but the slight grubbiness and sticker as mentioned. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible to its condition.
It contains both its original plain black poly-lined inners which are in excellent+ condition. They are strong with no splits, tears or pen marks and have only light creasing to the flipbacks and light slight signs of handling.
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.
