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 very faint spindle marks visible on the labels but there are 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 nice shape.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides have nothing at all sinister or nasty showing in normal light. There is a few faint thin light surface lines and minor sleeve marks but nothing at all deep. There is also some really minor faint 'manufacturing whiskers or scuffs', which are faintly visible when angled but are purely a light superficial manufacturing blemish. So overall a vintage record that is used but has nothing at all serious showing and overall is in very nice condition considering its age.
I play tested the record and it played really well and sounded great throughout. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is next to no movement in the record arm. The sound produced is excellent with really clear audio and little to no surface noise or interference. There is maybe the most minimal amount possible in the run in but there is no distortion caused by excessive use and of course there are no skips, sticks or annoying clicks/pops. It was a pleasure to play test and produced audio of excellent clarity and good quality throughout.
The sleeve is in very good- condition. It has considerable wear and rubbing to the edges but the spine is solid and the text along it all legible. The worst of the wear is on the bottom edges however. These are weakening and there is also a 2.5" split/tear up from the front bottom right corner(pics). Other than the edge wear the sleeve also has some creasing and ring marks showing on each side. More noticeable than these is the fading or 'mottled marks' over both the front and back. Inside the gatefold has light fading and some mild grubbiness but no major issues. Overall the sleeve is not perfect and looks a little tired but it is still solid enough and not a complete disaster. 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, tears or pen marks but has age related discolouring, some grubbiness and ring marks. I will therefore send the record in a brand new plain white replacement to ensure the record remains clean and fresh.
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.
