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.
These records are in very good+ condition. There is faint spindle marks on the labels but there are no pen marks, scuffs, stains or fading anywhere. There is minimal wear around the centres and overall the labels are clean, bright and in good shape.
As for the vinyl itself, all four sides are in a similar condition with some light lines present but nothing really nasty. There are some light lines and marks present in normal light but as I say nothing really sinister. There is one small 3mm mark just at the beginning of track 2 on side 4 which can be felt and causes the main issue on the lp(see below). Other than this there is nothing serious just some light surface lines in places.
I play tested both the records and they played very well overall with audio of good quality and clarity throughout. There was however unfortunately a series of around 20-25 audible ticks from the beginning of track 2 on side 4 caused by the small mark mentioned above. These are not really loud but are clearly audible as the part of the audio in which they occur is mellow. As a result of these I have downgraded to VG+.
The rest of the audio is great however. It has minimal amounts of surface noise(touch in run/out) and of course no skips or sticks. I noted 6-8 light ticks in the intro of side 3 but these were mild and soon pass. Overall I would grade the audio on sides 1 and 2 as EX+, with side 3 being EX and side 4 Vg. I still enjoyed all sides however as the audio as a whole was very nice but the ticks on the last side have to be mentioned and taken into consideration.
The gatefold sleeve is in excellent condition. It has only a minimal amount of wear/rubbing to the edges and corners(pics), with the writing along the spine all clearly legible. There are no splits, scuffs or pen marks anywhere and overall it is clean, bright and in good shape. It has little to no creasing, no ring marks and next to no grubbiness. There is however a couple of white marks(paint?) on the front near the left edge(pics) and also a piece of tape on the rear in the top left corner which is hiding a 1" tear. This is not hugely noticeable however and overall the sleeve still looks great. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible to its condition.
It contains both its original plain white inners which are in excellent- condition. They are strong with no splits, tears or pen marks but have some light discolouring and creasing.
Also included is its original colour picture booklet/insert. This is in excellent condition with no serious issues but mild creasing and slight signs of handling.
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.
