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 just one or two faint spindle marks visible on the labels and there are no pen marks, scuffs or any other damage. There are no stains or fading and the centres are not loose or worn. Overall the labels are clean, bright and in great condition.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides have no major marks showing in normal light but there is a small blemish in track 2 on side 1 and also a few light surface lines in places. These are all light but the blemish can be felt slightly with your finger. Other than these minor issues there is a few wispy lines showing under bright light again nothing serious. So overall this vintage record is in nice condition with a lovely vivid lustre but does show some light lines and the small blemish as mentioned.
I play tested the record and it played very well and sounded great for the vast majority. It lays flat, there is no movement in the record arm and the sound produced is excellent with no distortion caused by excessive use and of course no skips or sticks. There is also no serious annoying clicks but the blemish mentioned above in track 2 on side 1 does cause 5 light ticks. These are light and pass quickly however and other than these there is no such further issues. The audio as a whole is closer to EX+ with no major surface noise or interference other than the odd most minor faint splutter. Overall it was a pleasure to play test and produced audio of good quality and excellent clarity throughout.
The sleeve is in near mint condition and is still in its original shrink wrap. It has only very minor wear or rubbing to the edges and corners(front right corner shows light wear due to being exposed from shrink) with the writing along the spine all clearly legible. There are of course no splits or serious areas of wear however, and no tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere. There is next to no creasing or ring marks showing and only a minor amount of grubbiness up the rear left edge(which is exposed from shrink slightly). Overall it is strong, clean and in superb condition all round with the shrink having preserved it very well. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible on its condition.
It includes its original plain white inner which is in very good condition. This has no splits or tears but has creasing, age related discolouring and a pen mark(Cat. No.) in one corner.
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.
