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 spindle marks visible on each label but there are no pen marks, stains or scuffs anywhere and the centres show minimal wear. Overall the labels are clean, bright and in good shape with no major issues to report but the spindle marks as mentioned.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides are clean overall and have nothing at all serious visible. There is the odd light surface line, mark and smudge showing in normal light however and also more light wispy lines evident when viewed under bright light. There is nothing major however and it still has a lovely lustre. Overall the vinyl is used and shows some signs of this but is also far from well used and is still in good playable condition.
I play tested the record and it played nicely with no major issues or serious levels of interference. It lays flat, there is little to no movement in the record arm and the sound produced is free from skips, sticks or clicks and overall has very little surface noise or interference. There was an occasional light splutter of surface noise in places but nothing massively disruptive. Overall both sides play well and although there is the odd light noise it is still a strong grade of 'EX' on each side in my opinion.
The textured gatefold sleeve is in very good+ condition. It has mild wear and rubbing to the edges and corners with the writing along the spine all legible. There are no tears, splits, scuffs or pen marks and it is strong all round. There is some age related grubbiness and age spots to each side however. This is most noticeable on the front where there is some around the edges. Inside the gatefold also has a few faint age spots and a few small minor marks but nothing severe. Overall a solid sleeve with no major wear or serious issues but some age related grubbiness/discolouring 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 its original plain white inner which is in very good+ condition with no tears, splits or pen marks but some creasing and light age related grubbiness/discolouring.
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.
