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.
This record is in excellent condition. It has just a few faint spindle marks visible on the labels and no pen marks, scuffs, fading or staining anywhere. The centres show next to no wear and are not loose or worn. Overall the labels are clean, bright and in really good shape.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides have a vivid lustre and show only light signs of use in normal light. There is a few light surface lines and minor light 'marks' but overall it is excellent and has nothing nasty or serious showing. So overall a used vintage record which has no nasty scuffs or serious marks and has a lovely vivid lustre, but does have some light signs of use and minor lines in places.
I play tested the record and it played well for the vast majority. It lays perfectly flat on the deck and upon playing there is no arm movement noticeable. The audio is excellent overall with no skips or sticks and little to no surface noise. On side 1 I noted next to nothing with great audio throughout. I heard one sporadic 'pop' but this was all. Side 2 was also very clear but I noted a few(3 or 4) sporadic pops and also a series of 7 light but audible ticks in track 2. These are caused by a tiny 2mm mark and do sound but are not really loud and pass quite quickly. Overall the majority of the audio is really nice and closer to NrM but due to the visual side of things and the few brief noises as mentioned the record would grade as EX.
The sleeve is in very good condition. It has rubbing and wear to the edges and corners but the writing along the spine is still legible. There are no splits anywhere and the sleeve is still solid enough. It has not got any tears or pen marks but there is two small marks or scuffs on the front near the right edge. Other than these and the edge wear there is also ring marks showing and some light fading in places. There is also a mild amount of general age related grubbiness but nothing extreme. Overall a solid sleeve with no really serious issues but some age related wear as mentioned. 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 includes its original plain white poly-lined inner which is in very good+ condition. This has no tears, splits or pen marks but does have mild age related discolouring and light creasing to it.
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 try to ensure a 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.
