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 does have spindle marks visible on the labels but there are no pen marks, fading or serious scuffs. There is some faint age spots or grubbiness to each side but these are not hugely noticeable and overall the labels are tidy enough.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides are free from any deep or really nasty scratches and it still has a nice lustre. There is sign of use and age however with faint surface lines, wispy lines and also a few rings of groove wear on side 1. Overall the vinyl looks decent at first glance but when inspected closely you can clearly see it is used with light lines as mentioned.
I play tested the record and it played ok with no skips, sticks or loud tics. The general audio is also of good clarity with no major levels of surface noise. There is however some periods of minor interference in places. Firstly there is some light splutter in the run ins and intros on each side and also some light noises as the record plays through the groove wear on side 1. This is found near the end of track 1 and although the noises are not loud they can be heard faintly. Other than these few noises there was the odd occasional noise and splutter of surface noise. It is still an enjoyable listen with no serious interference but is not perfect and is graded at VG.
The embossed gatefold sleeve is in very good condition. It has only light rubbing to the edges with the writing on the spine all clearly legible. There is no splits and the sleeve is still strong all round. There is also no tears, pen marks or issues with creasing or ring marks. There is grubbiness and discolouring to each side however and also a partially removed sticker and small scuff to the front top right corner. Overall a solid sleeve but one that has discolouring and grubbiness as often found with white sleeves of this time. 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.
Its original picture inner is unfortunately missing and so the record will be sent in a brand new plain white replacement.
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.
