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 a few light spindle marks on each label but not loads and no pen marks, scuffs or fading. There is a couple of very faint 'age spots' on both sides but these are minor and hard to spot. The centres are not loose and overall the labels are in great shape.
As
for the vinyl itself, both sides are really clean with little visible in normal
light. There is a few incredibly light thin lines evident and some very minor superficial speckling but nothing remotely serious. There is still little even under very bright white light,
with just a few more extremely minor light wispy lines. The record has no nasty scuffs
or blemishes and has a beautiful vivid shine.
I play tested the record and it plays near enough perfectly. It lays flat, there is only a hint of movement in the record arm and the sound produced is superb on both sides. Its crisp, dynamic and really clear with barely a trace of interference or surface noise audible. There is maybe the most miniscule amount in the run in but other than this there is nothing and there are obviously no skips, sticks, annoying clicks or any other major issues. Its an audio experience of very high quality and was a pleasure to play test such an iconic album with such clarity and defined audio.
The iconic gatefold sleeve is in excellent condition. It has next to no wear to the edges and corners(pics), and the writing along the spine is all clearly legible. It is clean, bright and has a strong spine. There are no tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere. There is only very faint ring marks visible and next to no creasing. There is however a few light 'age spots' or 'yellow dots' sporadically dotted over both sides and also inside the gatefold. Other than these it is in superb condition, but due to these I have graded at EX and think this is fair. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible on the sleeves condition.
It
contains its original picturelyrics inner in excellent condition with
no splits, tears or pen marks and
only very slight creasing and mild ring marks. It does however have 'age spots' to both sides once again.
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 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.
All offers are considered and are more than welcome.
Many thanks for looking.
