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 successful.
This record is in very good+ condition. It has a few spindle marks visible on each label but there are no pen marks, stains or scuffs anywhere. The centres show minor wear and are not worn or loose. Overall the labels are clean, bright and in good shape with no major issues to report.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides have nothing serious or sinister visible in normal light but there is some light faint surface lines and minor sleeve 'scuffing' showing. None of these are anything at all major but can be seen when the record is angled into certain lights. There is some on both sides but there is more showing on side 1 with side 2 showing only very light wear. Due to these light lines and minor sleeve scuffs being a sign of use I have graded as VG+ which I think is fair and accurate. Overall the record is in good playable condition however with no serious scuffs, nasty marks or blemishes and a lovely lustre.
I play tested the record and it played well throughout. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is little to no movement in the record arm. The sound produced is excellent with no serious issues and only the odd light trace of surface noise. There are no skips, sticks, clicks or pops and overall it was a pleasure to play test. I noted a few splutters near the end of track 2 on side 1 but other than this very little with the audio as a whole being a solid grade of EX in my opinion.
The sleeve is in excellent condition. It has mild rubbing and wear to the edges(mostly near bottom front right side corner) and corners but the text along the spine is all still legible. There are no tears, scuffs or pen marks and only a few minor creases. There is mild ring marks showing in places but nothing extreme. There is no serious grubbiness or discolouring but there is some light fading to the rear and there is also a few minor indentations to each side. 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 picture inner which is in excellent condition with no splits or pen marks and little to no creasing or ring marks. There is a small 1cm tear to the bottom right corner area however(see pics). I will of course send the record in a brand new plain white replacement to ensure the original stays safe during transit.
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.
All offers are considered and are more than welcome.
Many thanks for looking.
