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 spindle marks visible on each
label but there is no pen marks, scuffs, stains or major issues. Overall the labels are nice and clean but with some spindle marks as mentioned.
As
for the vinyl itself, both sides are free from anything deep or major
but do have faint sleeve 'scuffs' and light signs of use showing in normal light. There are no nasty marks or
serious defects but it has slight signs of use in places. It still has a nice lustre and is far from heavily used but there is light wear as mentioned.
I
play tested the record and it played very well and produced enjoyable audio throughout. It
lays
flat on the deck but upon playing there is little to no movement noticeable in
the record arm. The audio produced is a certain grade of EX throughout. There are no skips, sticks, annoying
clicks or pops and little to no surface noise or interference. There was maybe the odd most minor trace in places but certainly nothing much and nothing disruptive. Overall it plays really well from start to finish.
The gatefold sleeve is in excellent condition. It has very little wear on the spine but does have some light rubbing to the top and bottom edges. Other than this there is also a few minor creases around the edges and a slight ring mark showing to the rear. There are no tears, pen marks, scuffs or major issues however and overall the sleeve is a tidy example with just mild signs of age. 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
contains its original lyrics inner which is in very good+ condition. This has no splits, tears or pen marks but does have quite a lot of age spots and age related discolouring. I will send the record in a brand new plain white replacement to ensure no damage occurs to the original and the record remains clean and ready to play.
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.
