Vinyl still has some sheen and plays through well with no skips, sticks or jumps and generally strong audio for its considerable age. There is occasional background noise in place which is to be expected but 1960’s early Mono press audio generally shines through. There is obvious play wear and clusters of light hairlines throughout, further surface scratches are visible but there are none feel able and they don’t really detract from pretty good play back again for it’s age. Scuffs and surface marks under the lamp. Labels have no stickers, there is small initials in the magic notes logo otherwise just light spindle wear to the centres. Plain white inner sleeve with marks and yellowing. Outer front laminated with rear flip backs G&L sleeve has No splits, stickers or writing. Readable thin spine, scuffs to corners and wear along the edges in places including the opening edge. Age related yellowing to rear of sleeve, front laminate creases and laminate scuffs also. Light ring wear and marks.

All records are properly play tested through headphones unless otherwise stated or still sealed.. All vinyl is inspected under a bright halogen lamp.. I use the standard UK record collector grading system appreciating that opinions differ. I never add more than one + or - to my gradings and never grade a record as M unless its new or sealed.
