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 light spindle marks visible on the labels but no pen marks, scuffs or any other damage. The centres are not loose and overall the labels are in great shape.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides are very clean with little visible in normal light, just a few very minor lines when tilted directly into light. There are a few more incredibly minor light wispy lines visible under very bright white light, but nothing drastic and of course nothing remotely serious. The record has no serious scuffs or blemishes and has a beautiful lustre.
I play tested the record and it plays really well. It lays, has only slight movement in the record arm and the sound produced is great. Its crisp, clear and has only a trace of interference in the run in and very occasionally between tracks. There are no skips, sticks or clicks and no other serious musical issues. Its a very enjoyable audio experience and was a pleasure to play test with no major issues to report.
The sleeve is in very good condition. It has some wear to the edges and corners(pics), but the writing along the spine is all clearly legible. This wear is mainly just on the bottom edge and has caused a 3.5" split. Other than this split the sleeve is strong, clean and has no tears, scuffs or pen marks. There is mild creasing and ring marks however and also a sticker on the front near the top edge. So overall the sleeve is solid enough but with this split on the bottom edge as mentioned.
It contains a plain white inner in excellent- condition. This has no splits, tears, pen marks or major damage, but has some creasing and slight discolouring.
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.
