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. The labels have next no spindle marks visible with just a few of the lightest possible ones imaginable. There are no pen marks, scuffs or fading anywhere and overall they are great shape.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides are very clean with little visible in normal light, just a few light lines when tilted. There are a few more extremely light wispy hairlines and some very light lines of groove wear visible under very bright white light, but nothing remotely serious. The record has no scuffs or blemishes and has a beautiful shine.
I carefully play tested the record and it plays really well. It lays flat and there is almost no movement in the record arm. The sound produced is superb. Its crisp, clear and has no background noise or interference, with only the most minimal trace in the run in/out. There are no skips, sticks or clicks and any other serious musical issues. Its a quality audio experience and was a pleasure to listen to.
The sleeve is in excellent condition. It has slight wear/rubbing to the edges and corners, but the writing along the spine is legible. The sleeve is clean, bright and there are no tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere. There is however a very faint ring mark just visible on the back and a few minor indentations here and there. Overall it is in great shape however with no serious issues. It contains its original lyrics inner which is only in good+ condition. This has no tears or pen marks but does have splits to two edges. It will therefore be sent with a plain white replacement to ensure no further damage occurs.
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, within 24hrs of 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.
All offers are considered and are more than welcome.
Many thanks for looking.
