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 near mint condition. It has just one or two vary faint spindle marks visible on the labels and there are no pen marks, scuffs, fading or any other damage. Overall the labels are in superb condition with no serious issues to report.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides are really clean and have nothing remotely serious showing in normal light but do have a couple of the most minor thin wispy lines evident when angled. These are faintly visible but really are very minor and overall the vinyl shows very little signs of use. There is some more extremely minor light wispy lines visible in very bright light but not loads and of course nothing remotely serious or sinister. The record has no serious scuffs, nasty marks or blemishes, has a beautiful vivid shine and in is very nice condition overall.
I play tested the record and it played really well with great clarity throughout. It lays flat, there is next to no movement in the record arm and the sound produced is really enjoyable. Its crisp and clear with only a trace of surface noise audible in the run in and occasionally a trace between some tracks. The audio itself has little to none audible and is defined and of great clarity. There is no serious interference at all and there are obviously no skips, sticks, annoying clicks or distortion. It was an audio experience of great quality and was a pleasure to play test.
The fold-out sleeve is in near mint condition. It has minimal amounts of wear to the edges and corners(pics) and there are no tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere. Inside the sleeve when folded out is clean, bright and looks superb with no issues to report. There is no major creasing or ring marks evident and overall it is a strong, clean and bright sleeve. There is however the slightest trace of age related grubbiness on the front and a small 2" line of fading/ring mark showing towards the centre of the top edge. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible on the sleeves condition.
It contains its original picture inner which is in excellent+ condition with no tears, splits or pen marks and no major creasing or ring marks. It has some really faint grubbiness or age spots to each side but these are very faint and hard to see. I will send the record in a brand new plain white replacement to ensure no damage occurs to the original during transit.
There is no 7" ep or postcards included unfortunately as these have gone missing at some point.
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.
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.
