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 good+ condition. It has spindle marks visible but no pen marks, scuffs or severe fading. There is a little wear around the centre holes but these are not loose and overall the labels are in good shape.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides are free from anything really deep or serious but is has loads of light surface lines and scuffs visible in normal light. These clearly show under very bright white light, along with more light wispy lines. There is again nothing really sinister however just these very light surface marks. It has no major nasty scuffs, marks or blemishes and still has a nice shine.
I play tested the record and it plays well. It lays flat and upon playing there is only a little upward movement noticable in the record arm. As for the audio this is very good overall. There are no serious issues such as sticks, skips or really loud annoying clicks but there is light surface noise audible throughout. This is really only audible between tracks and in the much softer parts, although I picked up on some louder interference in track 1 on side 2. So overall it isnt immaculate audio but I would say it would grade higher than G+ audible with no serious issues and only light occasional intereference in places.
The sleeve is in fair+ condition. It has wear to the edges and corners(pics) which has caused no splits yet but there is a weak area in the centre of the spine. There is wear on all edges and it has had its bottom right corner snipped off. Other than the edge wear there is also ring marks visible on both sides and some 'scuffing' on the front. There is also a pen mark to the top right corner of the front. There is also some light creasing and general age related grubbiness throughout. So overall not a pristine copy and it clearly shows wear and has a few issues. It is despite this still solid enough and could be worse I suppose. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible to its condition.
It includes a plain white inner which is in good+ condition. It has splits to the bottom and left edges but these have been taped an so it is solid enough. There is light creasing and sight age related discolouring and also a small 1cm tear to the central window, but overall it is solid and fulfils its purpose.
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 ensure swift delivery.
