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.
These records are in excellent+ condition. There are a few light spindle marks on each label but no pen marks, scuffs or fading anywhere. The centres show a little wear but are not loose or worn and overall the labels are in great shape.
As for the vinyl itself, all sides are really clean, have a vivid shine and have very little visible in normal light. There are few light minor lines or small marks but nothing remotely sinister on any side. There are more light wispy lines visible when viewed under very bright white light but again nothing remotely sinister or serious. The records have no nasty scuffs, serious marks or blemishes and both have a lovely vivid shine.
I play tested both the records and they played really well. They lay flat with little to no movement in the record arm on either. The sound produced is superb throughout all four sides with next to no interference and of course no serious issues. The audio was crisp, dynamic and very clear with a very light trace of surface noise in the run in and occasionally between some tracks. There are no skips, jumps or clicks and I didnt even note one single pop throughout four sides. It was a pleasure to play test and both records produced audio of very good quality.
The textured sleeve is in very good condition. It has clear wear to the edges and corners(pics), but the writing along the spine is still just about legible. There are no splits, tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere and overall it is clean and solid all round. It does however have ring marks and fading to both sides and also some creasing throughout. So overall a solid enough sleeve but with clear age related wear showing. I have tried to describe the sleeve as best I can but please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible.
It contains both its original picture/lyric inners which are in a similar excellent condition. Neither has splits, tears or pen marks but both do have some light creasing, ring marks and mild wear. As they are in good shape I will send the records in two brand new plain white replacements to ensure no damage occurs during transit.
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.
All offers are considered and are more than welcome.
Many thanks for looking.
