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 very good condition. It has spindle marks visible on the labels but no pen marks, scuffs or fading. The centre isn't loose by any means and overall the labels are in good shape.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides have light surface lines/marks visible in normal light. There are loads of incredibly light wispy lines visible under very bright white light, but nothing deep or sinister. The record still has a lovely shine, no heavy, serious scuffs or scratches and no blemishes.
I play tested the record on my system(SME tonearm, Ortofon stylus and Technics deck) and it plays really well. It lays flat and there is no movement in the record arm. There is a very light crackle in the run in and occasionally between songs but this is mild and really the only interference on both sides. Despite the very light lines/marks and wear to the record its a really enjoyable audio experience with next to no distortion, no annoying clicks at all, no pops and barely a crackle during the actual audio.
The sleeve is in good+ condition. It has wear to the edges and corners, yet the writing along the spine is still legible. There are no splits anywhere but there are small holes/areas of wear on all four corners and 2cm of wear up/along the top right edge. So overall it is strong enough and not falling to bits by any means. It does have other issues however which can be seen in the pictures above. These are mainly on the back and are pen marks, a stamp and considerable staining. There is also slight creasing to the record entry edge(left edge of back) and some minor creases to the laminated front. So overall it of course isn't immaculate, but is also strong and solid with no major issues just superficial wear and marks.
The inner which is of the 'Use Emitex' Poly-lined variety is in very good+ condition with no serious issues, but some mild age related discolouring and creasing.
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.
