CONDITION:

VINYL =  V.G. (No monster scratches, excessive surface noise, etc. Average spindle trails for it's age. In normal daylight the vinyl and particularly under a grading lamp, this LP suffers quite a lot of surface marks - nothing deep though and on playback, they generally don't sound - I'm getting a little bit of surface noise and the occasional very faint click in the silences and occasionally in the quiet sections of a couple of tracks but once the music kicks in, that's all I'm really hearing. Also, being ultra critical, on playback it doesn't sound quite crisp as I think it once did - it never breaks into actual distortion and doesn't sound muffled but I still think it's had quite a few plays in the past... don't let me put potential bidders off by providing this info, it's still a good playable copy with much life left in it's grooves and I'd take it over a boring CD all day long, I just want bidders to get the fairest description possible.

Overall, a good chance for somebody who just wants to play the record and who isn't caught up in wanting a sterile CD sound to get it at a more reasonable price.

Note: for the purposes of this listing I have tested this LP on my Linn LP12 Sondek turntable - generally this is quite a critical test, but I must point out that I cannot guarantee exactly how this LP will sound on your turntable - common sense for most... but then this is ebay!!!)


SLEEVE = V.G.- (No rips, etc.. But... it has a lot of smaller handling creases in the laminate, wear round the edges, a very slight split in the spine and an old shops sticker on the back. It's seen much better days, but could be worse too - see photos for further clarification)



NOTE: I must point out that we are actually a long standing physical record shop, with many decades worth of selling, trading and grading records under our collective belts. Unlike so many of the jokers now selling records on ebay, we know how to grade records. Before bidding, please read my description carefully, decide how much this record is worth to you and place you max bid accordingly. Please also feel free to check out my feedback from the many other successful transactions I have made in the past.
