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 purchased.
This record is in near mint condition. It has a few faint spindle marks visible on each label but there are no pen marks, scuffs, stains or major issues. Overall the labels are nice and clean but with a few light spindle marks as mentioned.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides are very clean with a lovely lustre and very little showing. There is the odd faint and very slight signs of use in places but certainly nothing at all major or obvious. Overall a very clean piece of vinyl with just light signs of use showing to its playing surfaces.
I play tested the record and it played very well and produced excellent throughout. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is little to no movement noticeable in the record arm. The audio produced is of course free of skips, sticks, annoying clicks and pops and has little to no surface noise or interference during play. There was the odd most minor trace in the run ins to each side but even this was very slight. Overall it plays really well from start to finish and was a great listen.
The gatefold sleeve is in excellent+ condition. It has very little wear overall with just a light amount in places. There is a very slight amount of rubbing to the top and bottom edges, and a small 6mm area on the spine(above Michael Jackson). Overall the edges and corners are clean, sharp and legible. There are no pen marks, scuffs, tears or age spots. There is very slight signs of storage however with slight ring marks showing to the rear and a hint of age/fading. These issues are all very minor however and overall it is a nice tidy sleeve. 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 lyrics inner which is in excellent+ condition. This has no splits, tears or pen marks and no serious levels of creasing. There is light ring marks showing however and light creases to the edges of two flipbacks on the rear. I will send the record in a brand new plain white replacement to ensure no damage occurs to the original and the record remains clean and ready to play.
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.
