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.
These records are in excellent condition. They have some faint spindle marks on the labels but there are no pen marks, scuffs, fading or staining anywhere. There is no real wear around the centres and overall they are clean, bright and in nice condition.
As for the vinyl itself, all four sides have a lovely lustre and have nothing major or serious visible in normal light. There is a few light thin lines in places and some minor signs of age and handling. There is certainly nothing nasty however and overall it is good used condition.
I play tested both the records and they played well. They lay flat on the deck with little to no movement in the record arm upon playing. The sound produced is free from skips, sticks or annoying clicks and is of good clarity. There was a trace of surface noise in the run ins on each side but little to none during the actual play. Overall both records play very well and it was a thoroughly enjoyable listen.
The gatefold sleeve is in excellent condition. It has hardly any rubbing to the edges and corners with the spine all clearly legible. It is strong all round with no splits, tears, scuffs or pen marks. There is no serious creasing and just very slight ring marks showing in places. There is a little minor age related discolouring to the front and rear however, and also some age spots showing in places to the inside of the gatefold. I have tried my best to describe the sleeve but please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible as to its condition.
It contains both its original plain black inners which are solid with no major issues but have some minor creasing. The records will be sent in two brand new plain white replacements.
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.
All offers are considered and are more than welcome.
Many thanks for looking.
