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 very faint spindle marks visible on each label but not a drastic amount. There are no pen marks, stains or scuffs anywhere and the centres show only minor wear. Overall the labels are clean, bright and in great shape with no major issues to report.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides are really clean and have nothing remotely serious visible in normal light with just a couple of incredibly light faint sleeve 'scuffs' and the odd minor thin line showing. There are a few more incredibly light wispy lines visible under very bright light but not many and of course nothing remotely serious. So overall this vintage record has no serious scuffs, nasty marks or blemishes and has a beautiful vivid gloss. It is in superb condition for a 30 year old punk record.
I play tested the record and it played really well and sounded great throughout. It lays flat, there is minimal movement in the record arm and the sound produced is of high quality with little to no surface noise audible. There was a hint of surface noise in the run in/out on both sides but nothing at all major and on the whole it is crisp, clear and dynamic. There are no skips, sticks, clicks or pops and overall it was a pleasure to play test and it produced audio of great quality and clarity throughout.
The sleeve is in very good+ condition. It has some wear and rubbing to the edges and corners(pics), but there is nothing really extreme and no splits anywhere. The writing along the spine is still just about legible and the sleeve as a whole is still solid. There are no tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere but there is ring marks showing in places to each side. There is no major creasing but there are a few minor ones dotted around. Overall it is still a very tidy sleeve but with the edge wear, part ring marks and some light general age related wear. 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 excellent condition with no splits, tears or pen marks but light creasing and ring marks.
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.
