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 some light spindle marks on each label but not many and no pen marks anywhere. There is a small mark or line near the centre of side 2 but this is pretty minor and 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 overall and have nothing remotely serious showing in normal light. There are a few very light thin lines and maybe some faint sleeve 'scuffs' showing when angled but these are very minor. There are a few more incredibly light wispy lines visible under very bright light but not many and of course nothing remotely serious. The record has no serious scuffs, nasty marks or blemishes and has a lovely vivid gloss.
I play tested the record and it played really well and sounded great throughout. It lays flat, there is next to no arm movement in the record arm and the sound produced is excellent for the vast majority. Its crisp, dynamic and very clear overall with only a minor occasional trace of surface noise or interference audible. I heard a minor amount in the run in, a touch between some songs and a little in the intro or early parts of track 1 on side 2. All this 'surface noise' is very mild however and overall the audio is excellent and very enjoyable. There are obviously no skips or sticks and no clicks or serious issues with pops. I heard 2 pops in track 7 on side 2 but this was all and overall it was a pleasure to play test and produced very enjoyable audio throughout.
The sleeve is in excellent- condition. It has some wear and rubbing to the edges and corners(pics), but the writing along the spine is still all legible. There are no splits, tears or pen marks anywhere and overall the sleeve is strong all round. There is a small scuff/mark on the front however, and also some indentations/scratches to both sides. There is also some light grubbiness to the rear and a few minor creases in places. Overall a solid sleeve with no major issues but a few minor superficial problems 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 lyrics inner in very good- condition. This appears decent but unfortunately has 2.5" splits to the side edges. These obviously make the inner fragile so I will send the record in a brand new plain white replacement to ensure no further wear occurs during transit. Other than the splits there are no tears or pen marks and only mild age related discolouring.
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.
