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 lots of faint spindle marks and rubbing visible on the labels but there is no pen marks, scuffs or major fading. There is no serious wear to the centre holes and they are not loose. Overall the labels(which have no Emi logo and have 'The Gramophone' rim text') are in decent shape with no major issues but the light spindle marks as mentioned.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides are clearly used and do have marks and scratches showing. Most of these are light and cannot be felt but there are a couple on side 2 that can be felt in parts. These signs of use and wear clearly show under bright light along with lots more light wispy lines and signs of age. Despite being clearly used and not being the prettiest visually the record has a nice lustre.
I play tested the record and it plays much better than it looks. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is minimal movement in the record arm. The audio is still very enjoyable throughout and it has no skips, sticks or serious disruptive clicks. There is some surface noise or mild interference in the run in and between tracks and a little noticeable in the quieter parts of some tracks(track 2, side 1) but nothing to be massively disruptive. So overall not a completely crystal clear audio experience(as you can imagine from a record graded G+) but one that is still very enjoyable and in my opinion has audio closer to very good+ rather than good+.
The gatefold sleeve is in good condition. It has wear and rubbing to the edges and corners(pics), with the writing along the spine no longer legible. The worst of this edge wear is in the centre of the spine where there is a 2" area of damage. This is not a split however and overall despite this area of wear the sleeve and spine are solid all round. There are no tears or pen marks anywhere on the sleeve but there is a pretty large area of damage on the front coming from the bottom left corner area. There is also damage or marks caused by taping on the front in the top left corner. There is also some slight creasing in the laminate in places and mild age related grubbiness throughout. There is also a touch of grubbiness inside the gatefold and some light fading and minor creases. So overall a solid enough sleeve but one that does have its issues. I have tried to describe these as best I can but please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible as to its condition.
It contains a brand new plain white replacement inner.
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.
Many thanks for looking.
