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. There are only a few faint spindle marks on each label and there is no pen marks, scuffs or fading anywhere. Overall the labels are clean, bright and in good shape. However the label of side 4 has 'bubbles' present as it appears to have two labels stuck on top of each other(a fairly common manufacturing defect sometimes found). Overall the labels are tidy enough though with no major issues, but the 'double label' on side 4 as mentioned.
As for the vinyl itself, all four sides have a nice lustre(glow a deep red when held to direct light as pressed on reed translucent vinyl) and show no nasty, deep or serious marks/scratches. There is however very faint sleeve scuffs/marks in places, minor wispy lines and general light and faint signs of use to each side. There is also a couple of small spots or blemished on side 2. These are not major however and overall the vinyl is in good visual appearance with some signs of use and age but nothing extreme.
I play tested both the records and they both played with enjoyable audio throughout but were not a pristine or crystal clear audio experience. They lay flat on the deck with little to no movement in the record arm upon playing and have no serious issues such as skips, sticks or loud disruptive tics. There is however some interference in parts due to the mellow nature of the audio in places. There is no loud or major levels of surface noise but there is some splutters, light noises and general interference in some parts. I noted occasional pops, splutters and light noises on all four sides, with also 4 light tics at the end of track 3 on side 2(caused by a small spot/blemish mentioned above). Overall the audio can certainly still be enjoyed but is not pristine and as a result I have graded just below excellent at 'EX-'.
The gatefold sleeve is in excellent+ condition. It has only very slight wear on the edges and corners with all the text on the spine clearly legible. The sleeve is rock solid and there are tears or pen marks anywhere. There is a few minor creases in places and slight ring marks but nothing at all major. There is also very light 'scuffing' or marking along or near the bottom edge inside the gatefold. This is again minor and overall the sleeve is clean, strong and in nice condition. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible to its condition.
It contains two plain white inners(1 must be a replacement as they are both slightly different) which are in very good+ condition with no splits, tears, pen marks but with discolouring, ring marks and signs of age/handling. I will send the records in two brand new plain white replacement inners.
Also included is its original double sided insert. This is in excellent+ condition with no tears, pen marks or serious signs of handling.
It does not include its poster as this has unfortunately gone missing at some point.
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.
