Condition: -
Cover is in Very Good condition. Some rubbing on the edges including the spine (see photos).
The white inner sleeves are in Near Mint condition. They are not the original sleeves as these were replaced some years ago.
The labels are in Excellent condition. A few splindle marks.
The (translucent purple) vinyls are in Excellent Plus condition. When inspected under bright light I detected minimal hairline marks that has no affect on the sound quality. I have play graded the whole album and it plays through without fault and sounds brilliant. Hardly any background noise. It's absolutely superb. A killer copy.
Vinyl has been cleaned on my Project VCS record cleaning machine using L'Art du Sol cleaning fluid and is housed in a new Nagaoka style anti-static sleeve to prevent withdrawal marks to the records surface. Record will be housed in a new clear poly bag for protection.
Grading Guide
Mint (M) – Absolutely perfect in every way. Never been played and usually sealed.
Near Mint (NM) – The record has been on a shelf between other records. The vinyl looks glossy and clearly has only been played a few times. There are no marks on the vinyl and the whole package is complete.
Excellent (E) – A grade just below NM where light marks can be tolerated, where the vinyl has been in and out of the inner sleeve a few times, or tiny signs of use generally.
Very Good Plus (VG+) – A few further faults are acceptable, but nothing that really compromises the record visually or audibly. A little rub, light inaudible marks, a little background crackle.
Very Good (VG) – It’s seen a bit of life, but is still usable. Light pops and clicks, an edge split, light visible scratches. You can still listen to it and enjoy looking at it, but it is visually and audibly used.
Good (G) – The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc
Poor (P), Fair (F) Attempting to listen will be a disturbing experience. Expect major noise issues, skipping or repeating. The record itself is cracked, badly warped and has deep scratches. The cover is also approaching death.
Any questions, please ask.
Record will be well packed. I always remove the record from the outer sleeve when posting.
Please leave positive feedback once you have received the item and are happy with your purchase, and I will do the same for you.
Happy bidding.
