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 only a couple of very faint spindle marks visible on each label and there are no pen marks or stains anywhere. The centres show slight wear and minor rubbing but overall the labels are clean, bright and in great shape with no major issues to report.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides are very clean and have nothing serious visible in normal light. There is the odd incredibly light faint line and minor sign of use but nothing at all nasty. There is a few small minor manufacturing 'bumps' or blemishes but nothing serious. Overall it has a lovely lustre and shows only light signs of use to its playing surfaces.
I play tested the record and it played very well. It seems to lay flat on the deck but upon playing there is some mild upward arm movement or a slight 'twitch' noticeable in the record arm due to a slight outer warp. This is not extreme however and has no affect on the sound produced which is excellent. There was a hint of surface noise in the run in and out on both sides but very little during the actual audio. There were no skips or sticks and no serious issues with ticking. I did note 3 very light ticks at the end of track 4 on side 1 however, and also 5 ticks at the very end of track 1 on side 2(caused by a tiny 3mm mark). Other than these two short light periods of ticks and the slight arm movement it plays great however with nice clear audio and no distortion or major surface noise. Overall a nice listen with no serious issues.
The sleeve is still in its original shrink wrap and is in near mint condition. It has therefore been very well preserved and shows little to no wear to the edges and corners(pics). There are of course no splits anywhere and no tears, scuffs or pen marks. It does have an old sticker on the front in the top right corner however(on sleeve not shrink). There is little to no creasing or ring marks and other than a little age related grubbiness in places it is superb. 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 contains its original plain white inner which is in very good condition with no splits but with some creasing, grubbiness, discolouring and staining to it. There is also a small 1cm tear to the central window on one side.
It also includes its original descriptive notes insert. This is in very good condition with no tears or pen marks but with some discolouring and age related grubbiness.
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.
