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 very good+ condition. It has just a few faint spindle marks visible on each label and there is no pen marks, scuffing or severe fading. Overall the labels are clean, bright and in good shape with all text legible and no serious issues at all.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides are free from anything at all deep or major but there is a few light lines and some signs of use showing. There is a few rings of light groove wear in places and some minor thin lines. There is also some faint wispy sleeve marks and some very minor and superficial 'manufacturing whiskers'. All these issues are light and minor but the vinyl is not pristine and has some signs of play. Overall it is used with some signs of this but also has a nice lustre and has nothing at all major present.
I play tested the record and it played well and produced very enjoyable audio throughout. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is little to no movement noticeable in the record arm. The produced is a solid grade of EX throughout with no skips, sticks, annoying clicks or pops and minimal interference in general. There was some light surface noise in the run in/out and a trace in the intro to side 1 but nothing at all severe. The vast majority of the audio is clear, defined and would certainly grade higher than the VG+ visual grading.
The sleeve is in very good+ condition. It has only mild wear to the edges but there some on the corners, especially the top and bottom of the spine. This has affected the text and this is no longer legible. As well as the wear in places there is also two small tears to the front right/rear left(record entry) edge. They are both a similar size(8mm) and found on either side opposite each other. Other than these issues there is also some light grubbiness to each side, and also very faint pen indentations to the front(only noticeable when angled). Overall it is still a generally tidy and presentable sleeve with no really major or obvious defects but does has some issue as I have tried to outline. I have done 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 its original plain white inner which is in excellent condition. This has no splits, tears or pen marks but does have light creasing and minor wear.
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.
