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 very good+ condition. The labels do have a few light spindle trails visible but no pen marks, scuffs or any other serious issues. As for the vinyl itself, both sides are free from anything serious but do have light surface lines/marks just visible when tilted into normal light. There are lots more extremely minor wispy lines when viewed under very bright white light, but again nothing remotely serious. The record has no serious scuffs or blemishes, and still has a lovely shine.
I play tested the record and it plays well. It lays flat but there is an outer storage warp which causes a 'bob' or 'wobble' in the record arm. This is purely a visual problem however and has no affect on the sound produced which is great. Its crisp, dynamic and has only a trace of occasional interference audible between songs. There are no sticks, jumps, annoying clicks or any other major issues. Its a very enjoyable audio experience and was a pleasure to play test despite the visual warp.
The sleeve is in excellent condition. It has only mild wear to the edges and corners(pics), and the writing along the spine is legible. All the edges are really strong and there are no splits or weak areas where one may develop. However the top left corner has been snipped off and there is also a few grubby marks/stains to the front around the far right area. Other than these two small issues it is overall solid all round with no tears, scuffs, pen marks or serious issues. It contains its original Elektra inner which is in very good+ condition with no splits or serious issues, although it does have creasing.
It also includes its original lyrics insert which is in excellent condition with no serious issues at all.
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, within 24hrs of payment to ensure 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.
