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 excellent+ condition. It has some faint spindle marks and rubbing visible on each label but there are no pen marks, scuffs or any other damage such as stains or fading. The centres are not loose or worn and overall the labels are clean, bright and in good shape.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides are very clean overall, have a lovely lustre and have nothing remotely serious showing in normal light. There is however a few faint minor sleeve 'scuffs' showing in places and also a strange light 'blotch' or mark in track 1 on side 2. There is also a few more thin light wispy lines or faint sleeve marks visible under bright light but not loads and of course nothing remotely deep or serious. So overall the record is in very nice shape, has a lovely lustre but does show some light signs of use.
I play tested the record and it played really well and sounded great throughout. It lays flat, there is no movement in the record arm upon playing and the sound produced is excellent. There is no distortion caused by excessive use and of course no skips, sticks or annoying clicks. There was only the most minor hint of surface noise in places and of course nothing at all severe. The 'blotch' on side 2 mentioned above has no affect at all and overall the whole album was a pleasure to play test. I noted little other than strong EX+ audio throughout and the most minor occasional splutter of light surface noise.
The gatefold sleeve is in excellent condition. It has some wear and rubbing to the edges and corners but nothing extreme and the writing along the spine is all still clearly legible. There are of course no splits, tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere but there is a small sticker removal mark faintly showing on the front in the top right corner. Other than this and the wear to parts of the edges and the corner there is no major issues at all. There is hardly any creasing and little to no ring marks showing. Inside the gatefold has its booklet firmly attached and it is clean and bright all round. Overall the sleeve is clean, bright, strong and in nice shape all round with just some light age related wear to the corners/edges really. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible.It includes its original plain white inner which is in excellent- condition. This has no splits, tears or pen marks but has some mild creasing and some age related discolouring/age spots in places.
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.
