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 excellent+ condition. It has faint spindle marks visible on each label but there are no pen marks, scuffs or any other damage such as stains or fading. The centres are not loose or worn and overall the labels are clean, bright and in great shape.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides are really clean, have a vivid lustre and have very little (I can see two or three small lines and a faint sleeve mark) showing in normal light. There is a few very faint sleeve marks or wispy lines visible under bright light but these are of course nothing remotely serious and overall it is in really nice condition and is a strong grade of EX+ visually.
I play tested the record and it played really well and sounded great throughout. It lays flat, there is next to no movement in the record arm and the sound produced is excellent with no distortion caused by excessive use and of course no skips, sticks or annoying clicks. There was also barely any surface noise(even in the very mellow parts) or interference and most certainly nothing remotely severe. Overall it was a pleasure to play test and produced audio of great clarity from start to finish and would grade closer to NrM audibly.
The gatefold sleeve is in very good+ condition. It looks tidy enough all round but it does have rubbing to the edges and corners. This is only light and the sleeve remains rock solid with no splits or wear areas anywhere. It has affected the writing on the spine however which now no longer clearly legible. Other than the edge wear/rubbing the sleeve has no tears, scuffs or pen marks and barely any ring marks. There is also minimal creasing and inside the gatefold looks great with no problems. There is the odd indentation or minor crease in places but nothing severe and overall it is a tidy enough sleeve but one that has age related rubbing to the edges as mentioned. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible.It includes its original red lyric inner which is in very good+ condition. This looks tidy enough with no tears, pen marks or heavy creasing but is has wear to the bottom and right edge(mostly on this edge) which are now weakening. I will send the record in a brand new plain white replacement to ensure no further wear occurs to the original.
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.
