Please read the description below in full prior to bidding.
Condition of the record is GOOD. There's quite a few scratches & scuffs marks on the record, but none can be felt with a finger tip. Under a bright light, it shows many light sleeve removal marks, but still has a lovely shine & lustre. The record label shows quite a few spindle marks & 3 stylus scratches, 1 quite big & prominent on side 2. The spindle hole shows wear, most probably from a Dansette record player with autochanger? But no writing or stickers.
The record has been cleaned on a Moth mk11 pro record cleaner & played throughout on a Project turn table.
The audio quality is GOOD+. Plays throughout with no jumps, sticks or annoying tics or clicks. The mono audio plays loud & very clear, with just a hint of very light groove wear in places & light non intrusive background surface noise heard in quieter parts. Side 2 plays better than side 1, may be vg-? But I don't want to exaggerate the audio quality in anyway.
The sleeve condition is GOOD. Fairy clean & presentable with moderate wear to all corners. It's has a few small tears to the top & bottom edge & a 20mm seam split to the bottom by the opening edge. The spine is straight with all lettering fully readable. The opening edge is feathered, but still strong. The back of the sleeve is slightly grubby, has wear to the bottom flip back, but no rips & has a previous owners name written at the top right hand corner. There is also 2 small patches where old sellotape once was, by the opening edge on the flip backs. Please see pictures (more available upon request).
Graded very conservatively to the Rare Record Price guide, it's still an enjoyable listen & in no way trashed!
