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 a few faint spindle marks visible on the labels but there are no pen marks, scuffs or any other damage such as stains or fading. Overall the labels are clean, bright and in nice condition.
As for the vinyl itself both sides are nice and clean with a good lustre and no heavy signs of use. It has some faint and superficial blotchy/streaky marks in places and very minor signs of age but nothing remotely deep, serious or major. Overall it shows some signs of use but certainly nothing excessive and is in very nice condition.
I play tested the record and it played well. It lays flat on the deck and there is little to no movement in the record arm upon playing. The sound produced is excellent with no distortion caused by excessive use and no skips, sticks or annoying clicks. There was a minor amount of surface noise in the run ins on each side and a little in the mellow intro to side 1. This was no loud or disruptive but there was a little amount of surface noise at the very beginning. Other than this the vast majority plays great and overall it was a pleasure to play test and produced audio of nice quality.
The laminated sleeve is in excellent+ condition. It has no serious issues such as tears, scuffs or pen marks and is very tidy all round. It has hardly any rubbing or wear on the edges and corners with the spine all clearly legible. There are no obvious ring marks, serious creases or major issues to the sleeve but there is some faint discolouring to the white/lighter areas of the sleeve. Overall it is a nice tidy example with just minor signs of its 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.It includes its original plain white poly-lined inner. This is solid with no splits or major issues but has some creasing and mild discolouring.
Also included is its original lyrics insert. This is in excellent condition with no tears or pen marks but some light signs of age.
The record will be packaged in between 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.
