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 near mint condition. It has just a couple of faint spindle marks on the labels and no pen marks, scuffs or any other damage such as stains or fading. The centres are not loose or worn and overall the labels are clean, bright and in great shape.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides are beautifully clean with next to nothing showing in normal light and of course nothing remotely sinister. Overall both sides are in great shape, have a vivid gloss and have nothing remotely serious evident. Under very bright white light there are a few wispy lines, but not many, and they are of course nothing remotely serious. Overall the record is in great shape, has no serious scuffs, marks or blemishes and has a beautiful vivid shine.
I play tested the record and it plays great with excellent audio throughout both sides. It lays flat on the deck with next to no movement in the record arm. The audio produced is crisp, dynamic and very clear with only a trace of surface noise in the run in and little to none in the audio itself. There is no distortion caused by excessive use and no skips, sticks, clicks or pops. Overall it was a high quality audio experience and was a pleasure to play test such a great sounding classic lp.
The sleeve is in excellent+ condition. It has only very slight wear and rubbing to the edges and corners with the writing along the spine all clearly legible. There are no splits and no tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere. There is next to no creasing, barely any ring marks visible and overall it is strong all round. It does however have some slight age related discolouring in places. This is not drastic at all, but some of the white areas are not as bright and vivid as they should be and have yellowed very slightly. This discolouring is the reason I have graded slightly lower but other than this it shows minimal wear and is in great shape. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible on its condition.
It includes its original picture/info inner which is in near mint condition. This has no splits, tears or pen marks and next to no creasing or wear. The record will be sent in a replacement sleeve to ensure the original remains in top condition as it is now.
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.
