Jeff Wayne ?– Jeff Wayne's Musical Version Of The War Of The Worlds

These records are in near mint condition. There are hardly any spindle marks visible on the labels and no pen marks, scuffs or fading anywhere. There is next to no wear around the centres and overall they are clean, bright and in superb condition.

As for the vinyl itself, all four sides are really clean, have a vivid lustre and little visible in normal light. Record 2 is near enough spotless with nothing showing even when angled. Record 1 is also in great shape with no real marks or scratches but some incredibly faint sleeve 'scuffs' showing when angled into direct light. I have tried to capture these in the pictures provided but they are very faint and hard to photograph. Overall both records show little and have only light signs of use to the playing surfaces.

I play tested both the records and they played really well with very enjoyable audio throughout. They lay flat on the deck and upon playing there is next to no arm movement noticeable. The audio produced is excellent throughout with, of course, no serious issues such as skips, sticks or ticks. There is also only minimal interference in the form of surface noise. I noted a very slight trace amount in the vocal/speaking intro to side 1 and a hint in the intro to side 2 but this was very minor. Other than the most minor trace of surface noise I also noted a quick(maybe half a second or so) burst of distortion just before the first song properly begins. There is no mark or anything showing on the record so I can only assume it is a minor manufacturing issue. Overall the records are in great shape and play really well with just the most minor amount of faint surface noise in the opening parts to record 1 really.

The gatefold sleeve is in excellent+ condition. It has only a minor amount of rubbing and wear(two 1cm areas of wear in the centre of each top edge) to the edges and corners with the text along the spine all still clearly legible. There are no splits, tears, scuffs or pen marks but there is a small dent on the very top of the spine. Other than this and the mild edge wear there is some light discolouring to the white areas on front and back. This is pretty minor however and overall the sleeve looks great with no serious creasing or major ring marks. Inside the gatefold looks beautiful with no issues or problems to report. There is a few minor indentations on the front but these are again minor. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible to its condition.

It contains both its original plain white inners. Both have no tears or pen marks but both do have light creasing and mild wear. One also has a 2" split in the bottom edge but this has been taped and so it is still solid and fulfils its purpose.

Also included is its original booklet/insert. This is in excellent+ condition with no tears or pen mark  but light grubbiness and mild 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.
