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 in excellent+ condition. There are only a few(3 or 4) light spindle marks on each label and no pen marks, scuffs or fading anywhere. There is next to no wear around the centres and overall they are clean, bright and in great shape.
As for the vinyl itself, all four sides are really clean, have a vivid lustre and little to nothing visible in normal light. There are a few extremely light wispy lines and faint sleeve marks showing when viewed in very bright light, but hardly anything really and nothing at all serious. The records have no serious scuffs, nasty marks or blemishes, have a vivid lustre and are in superb condition overall.
I play tested both the records and they played really well with high quality audio throughout. They lay flat on the deck but upon playing both have some slight upward arm movement noticeable. This is far from extreme and of course is nowhere near severe enough to cause issues to the sound produced but due to this and the few spindle marks I have graded at EX+. The audio is closer to NrM however with obviously no skips, sticks or annoying clicks and generally little to no interference of any sort. There is maybe the most minimal hint of surface noise in the run in's but barely anything during play, even in the mellow or quiet parts. It was a pleasure to play test and was a great sounding copy of this classic.
The gatefold sleeve is in very good+ condition. It has some rubbing and wear to the edges and corners but the text along the spine is still legible. There are no splits, tears, scuffs or pen marks but there is some light grubbiness in places(white area). There is also a few minor creases dotted around and mild ring marks to each side. Inside the gatefold is clean and bright with little to report. Overall a solid sleeve with no really nasty issues but one that has some mild general age related wear as mentioned. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible to its condition.
It contains one its original plain white inners which is in very good+ condition. The other is missing and so a brand new plain white replacement has been used.
Also included is its original booklet/insert. This is in near mint condition with no tears, pen mark, grubbiness or much sign of handling at all.
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.
