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 very good condition. There are spindle marks on each label but no pen marks, scuffs or severe fading anywhere. The centres show only light wear and are not loose or worn. Overall the labels are clean, bright and in good shape but with no serious issues.
As for the vinyl itself, all four sides have a nice shine but there is some light scratches, 'sleeve scuffs' and minor surface lines visible on each side. They are all used and do show this but also do not have anything really nasty or very deep.
I play tested both the records and they both played with no skips or sticks and enjoyable audio but also audio that was not perfect or pristine. Both records lay flat on the deck and there is little to no movement in the arm during play. As for the audio I noted the following on each side:
Side 1: Some light surface noise in parts and 1 tic between tracks 2 and 3. General audio grade of EX-.
Side 2: The odd light noise or mild splutter of surface noise. Solid VG+ audio.
Side 3: Light tics that can be heard faintly in the background of track 1. Only audible in parts and very lightly but are there. A similar set of around 5 or 6 tics in track 2. Audio of VG grade.
Side 4: Light surface noise in run in and intro. Light tics in track 2 and small mark at very start of last track causes 3 tics. VG audio but nice clarity for majority.
So overall the records all play nicely but also are not completely perfect and have the odd light noise or mild amount of interference. I still enjoyed every side however and found none of the issues mentioned above hugely disruptive.
The gatefold sleeve is in excellent condition. It has only mild wear and rubbing to the edges and corners with the writing along the spine still legible. There are no splits, tears or pen marks anywhere but there is some minor creasing in places. There is also a few indentations in places, faint ring marks and mild general signs of handling. Overall it is strong and bright however with no major issues. I have tried to describe the sleeve as best I can but please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible.
It contains both its original lyric inners. These are in very good condition. Both have ring marks and light creasing. One has a 2.5" split in the centre of the bottom edge while the other has no splits. I will send the records in two brand new plain white replacements to ensure no further wear occurs.
Also included is the original poster. This is in excellent condition with no major issues but light signs of handling and minor faint age spots to the white rear.
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.
All offers are considered and are more than welcome.
Many thanks for looking.
