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 just a few faint short spindle marks visible on each label and there are no pen marks, stains or scuffs anywhere. The centres show minimal wear and are not worn or loose. Overall the iconic pink rim labels are clean, bright and in great shape with no major issues to report.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides are very clean, have a lovely lustre and have nothing remotely serious visible in normal light. There is however some incredibly light faint sleeve 'scuffs' and the odd minor thin line showing when angled. These are all faint and minor but are a sign of use and can be seen when angled in places. These and a few more incredibly light wispy lines are visible under very bright light but again nothing remotely serious or sinister. The record has no serious scuffs, nasty marks or blemishes, has a lovely vivid lustre and overall is very clean but does have very faint light lines as mentioned.
I play tested the record and it played really well and sounded great throughout. It lays flat, there is little to no movement in the record arm and the sound produced is excellent with little to no surface noise audible. There was a trace in the run in but nothing at all major and the vast majority of the audio is crisp, clear and of high quality. There are no skips, sticks, clicks or pops and overall it was a pleasure to play test and it produced quality audio throughout which more than did this classic album justice.
The laminated gatefold sleeve is in excellent+ condition. It has minimal wear to the edges and corners with the text along the spine all clearly legible. There are of course no splits anywhere and the sleeve as a whole is still rock solid. There are no tears or pen marks anywhere and little to no ring marks or creasing. There is no major grubbiness or fading and overall the sleeve looks superb. However there is two thin scuffs inside the gatefold(near centre of bottom edge area on opposite sides). These have occurred when the sleeve must have got slightly stuck at some point. Other than these which are of course no ideal, the inside is clean, bright and has no other issues. Overall a very nice sleeve that has minimal wear but the two thin scuffs 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 contains its original plain white inner but this has split on the bottom edge and has been taped. I will therefore send the record in 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.
