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 excellent condition. It has just a few really light spindle marks visible on each labels and there are no pen marks, scuffs or stains. The centres show minimal wear and are not loose or worn. Overall the labels are clean, bright and in great shape with little to report.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides have nothing remotely serious evident and overall are very clean. There is the odd faint light surface line and a few small sleeve scuffs just about showing in normal light but nothing at all major. These slight signs of use do show under bright light along with a few more wispy lines but again nothing deep, sinister or serious. So overall this vintage record is in good shape, has a vivid lustre, is free of serious issues or defects and has only light signs of use and age.
I play tested the record and it played very well with no major issues and only very light minor amounts of interference or surface noise. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is next to no movement in the record arm. There are no skips, sticks or annoying clicks and only minor amounts of very light surface noise as I say. I noted a trace in the run in on both sides and some times in some of the much quieter or mellow parts. This is not loud surface noise at all however and the audio easily grades as EX as a whole. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this copy of a classic rock and it played well with no major problems to report.
The sleeve is in excellent- condition. It has some wear, staining and rubbing to the edges and corners but nothing really major with no splits anywhere. The text along the spine is grubby and creased however and so this is now difficult to read. Other than the edge wear there are no tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere but there is light ring marks to both sides. There is also some light creasing in places and a small white mark on the rear near to the top right corner. There is also a few 'slashes' or stains on the front near the bottom left corner. Overall a solid sleeve which although not pristine is still solid and looks more than decent. 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 blue lyrics inner which is in excellent condition. This has no tears or pen marks and only light creasing. There is a 1" area of wear to the left edge where a split is developing but this is not fully blown as yet. I will of course send the record in a brand new plain white replacement to ensure no damage occurs to the original.
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.
