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.
This record is in excellent condition. It has some spindle marks and rubbing visible on the labels but not an extreme amount. There are also no pen marks, scuffs, fading or stains anywhere. The centres show light wear but are not loose or worn and overall the labels are clean, bright and in good shape.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides have nothing deep or serious showing but there is the odd light surface line and minor scratch showing in normal light. These cannot be felt and there are not a large amount of them. There is a few more light wispy lines showing under bright light but again not a lot and overall considering its age it is in nice shape. So overall this vintage used record is in good shape with no nasty scuffs or serious scratches, has a lovely lustre but does have some signs of use and age.
I play tested the record and it played well throughout with strong EX grade audio on both sides. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is little to no arm movement noticeable. The audio is free of skips, sticks or seriously annoying ticks, with just 3 or 4 light ticks near the start of track 2 on side 2. These are light, brief and not very disruptive at all. Other than these I noted the occasional random 'pop' on side 1. I noted no more than 3 on the whole side combined and didnt note any on side 2. Overall it plays nicely with no serious issues and nice audio clarity. There is the most occasional light splutter of surface noise but nothing at all extreme and overall it was a thoroughly enjoyable play test.
The sleeve is in very good condition. It has some wear to the edges and corners but the writing along the spine is still all clearly legible. There are no splits or weak areas anywhere and the sleeve as a whole is still solid. It also has no tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere. There is however ring marks showing to each side and some laminate creasing/bubbling to the front(ear spine). There is also laminate 'peeling' to the rear. This would be the sleeves main downfall in my opinion. It can be seen near the rear left edge and along the bottom edge/flipback. Other than the light age related wear and laminate peeling the sleeve also has some light discolouring in places. This is not extreme but there is a few patch of light discolouring. Overall a solid sleeve but one that has some age related issues as mentioned. I have tried to describe the sleeve as best I can but please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible as to its condition.
It includes its original plain white 'envelope' style inner but this is in very poor condition and has become completely separated. I will therefore send the record in a brand new plain white replacement to ensure the record remains clean and fresh.
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.
