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 purchased.
This
record is in very good+ condition. It has
spindle marks visible on each label but there are no pen marks, fading or stains. There is no major wear to the centres and overall the
labels are still in decent shape.
As for
the vinyl itself, both sides are free from anything
deep or really nasty but there is some light surface lines, sleeve scuffs
and a few light marks showing on each side. Overall the vinyl is used and is not
perfect visually but is also free of anything really sinister.
I
play
tested the record and it played well overall with no major issues but
some occasional light surface noise or minor interference in parts. It
lays flat on the deck but upon playing there is a slight 'bob' in the record arm. This is not severe however and has no affect on the sound produced
which is still enjoyable throughout. It is not 100% perfect but also has no hugely disruptive
issues. There are no skips, sticks or clicks but I did notice some light surface noise in track 1 on side 2. This song is mellow and even the interference in this track is not bad. Overall the play test went by with no serious issues and only occasional light interference as I say.
The sleeve is in very good+ condition. It has a couple of areas of wear to the edges(centre of bottom edge and top right corner area) and corners but the majority of the faint writing along the spine is still just about legible. There is no splits and no tears or pen marks anywhere. There is some light creasing in parts however and there is also a minor scuff to the rear top edge area. Overall it is clean bright and strong but has a few minor issues as I have tried to outline. I have tried to describe the sleeve as best I can but please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible as to its condition.
It
includes its original picture inner which is in very good+
condition.
This has no tears, pen marks, scuffs or splits but has stains along the top and bottom edges on one side(from the original glue).
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 try to ensure a 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.
