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 only a couple of light spindle marks on each label and there are no pen marks, scuffs or any other serious issues anywhere.
As for the vinyl itself, there is nothing remotely serious on any side and little visible in normal light. Each side does however have light wispy surface lines of varying amount visible under bright light, but again nothing remotely deep or serious. The records have no serious scuffs or blemishes and have a lovely vivid shine.
I carefully play tested both the records and they played really well. They both lay flat but must have very small storage warps as there is just slight upward movement in the record arm on both. This is very minor however and has no affect on the sound produced which is superb. Its crisp, dynamic and other than a minuscule trace in the run in/out has no interference. There are obviously no skips, jumps, annoying clicks or any other serious issues. Its an audio experience of very high quality and was a play test to savour.
The gatefold sleeve is in excellent- condition. It has wear to the edges and corners(pics), but the majority of the writing along the spine is legible. The worst of the wear is on the top end of the spine(pics), but despite this it remains solid and there are no splits or really weak areas anywhere. Other than the edge wear there are no tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere and overall it is clean, bright and solid. It does have a small bend to one side but this is pretty minor.
It contains its original 2 plain white inners in excellent+ condition, with no splits or serious issues.
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.
