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 does have spindle marks visible on each label and there is also some light wear around the centres. These are not loose however and have no issues during play. There is also a small pen mark(name - Roy) on side 2 near the bottom right corner area and also some faint age spots to each side. Overall the labels are tidy enough with no major problems but some signs of use and age.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides are free from anything deep or major but do have a few light lines, faint sleeve 'scuffs' and signs of use/age showing in normal light. There are some more incredibly light wispy lines visible under very bright but again nothing deep or major. So overall a used record that has no nasty marks or serious defects and still has a lovely lustre but does have a few marks and lines.
I play tested the record and it played very well throughout. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is little to no movement noticeable in the record arm. The audio produced is a solid grade of EX throughout. There are no skips, sticks, annoying clicks or pops and overall only minimal amounts of interference. There was some light surface noise in the run in/out and occasionally between some tracks but on the whole all this surface noise was very minor, and of course not at a level to be disruptive. Overall I enjoyed the play test from start to finish and it played through producing audio of good quality which more than does this classic band justice.
The front laminated sleeve is in very good+ condition. It has some wear and creasing to the edges and corners, but the writing along the spine is still legible. There are no splits or weak areas on the sleeve and overall it is strong all round. There are no tears, scuffs or pen marks but there is some ring marks and creasing to each side. There is also age related grubbiness and discolouring to the rear with a small stain near the left edge. So overall a solid sleeve with no serious issues but some general signs of age and handling as mentioned. 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 a plain white inner which is in very good condition but does have some small splits in the edges and general signs of age(creasing/discolouring). I will therefore send the record in a brand new plain white replacement.
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.
