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 very good+ condition. It does have some spindle marks visible on each label but there are no pen marks or stains. There is a few light patches of scratching and small 'scuff' to label 2 but these are minor and I think they are minor manufacturing issues. Overall all text is legible and the labels are tidy enough.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides are free from anything deep or major but do have some signs of use and age. There is some light wispy lines in places, a few marks or light scuffs and general light signs of play. There is nothing nasty however and it still has a nice lustre.
I play tested the record and it played well and produced enjoyable audio throughout. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is no serious movement noticeable in the record arm but there is a slight raise showing on both sides. This is only slight and of course has no affect on the audio produced which is a solid/strong grade of VG+. It has no skips, sticks or annoying tics and is generally nice and clear. There is the occasional minor splutter of surface noise but nothing at all severe or disruptive. Overall it plays tidily and was an enjoyable play test throughout with no major issues or serious interference.
The sleeve is in excellent condition. It is still covered in its original shrink and has therefore been pretty well protected. It does however have some dents and bruises along the exposed record entry edge. There is also some light discolouring to this edge around the top corner area. This is minor however and overall the sleeve is excellent with the corners and edges showing very little wear overall. There is some grubbiness to the shrink on the outside but this is on the shrink and not on the sleeve underneath. 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 rounded corner red lyric inner which is in excellent- condition. It is solid with no splits, tears or pen marks but has light creasing, mild ring marks and light signs of age/storage. 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.
